Youth baseball academy
Founded by Ric Allen, who has been involved with baseball his entire life. Youth Baseball Academy has a passion for teaching the game to young ballplayers.
“
Over the past several years I have been teaching and coaching kids in Florida. Any boy or girl who has ever picked up a bat, a ball and dared to dream the dream will find our camps about as close to baseball heaven as they can get.
We love both baseball and softball. From tee-ball to travel ball, this is truly one of the nation’s great hotbeds for these wonderful games. I have so much to share with players, parents and coaches who love baseball and softball as much as we do!
I come from a baseball family. My father Hank, played in the Major Leagues for 7 seasons and my Uncle Dick was the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year and the 1972 American League Most Valuable player.
