What is USA Prime Baseball?
USA Prime Baseball is a baseball program that provides aspiring high school/college baseball players top quality instruction, taught in a professional environment. Our philosophy is not only to produce successful winning teams, but develop each individual player, both mentally and physically to reach their playing potential. The right coaching staff, correct instruction, repetition, discipline, and practices are traits for a successful program and successful student-athletes.
USA Prime Baseball offers a quality opportunity for players that are motivated and focused on getting to the next level. We consider ourselves a top tier organization because of our goal to connect with each player and develop them both mentally and physically. We offer a unique style of coaching that is a combination of constant reinforcement, demonstrations, along with an enjoyable learning atmosphere. We train our players with the intent to develop their ability to work through failures, develop them to be capable of overcoming the games difficult obstacles and offering solutions to the failures they are destined to face both on and off the field.
Being that baseball is a game of failure, it is extremely important for players to be able to accept failure, and leave it behind them. A positive, confident mental focus is absolutely necessary to have success. Our goal is to instill this in EVERY player in our organization. We demand a mutual respect between our players and coaches. This opens the door for great communication and growth as a team and as individuals.
USA Prime Baseball was established in 2017 with the primary goal of addressing the void they had witnessed firsthand in youth and high school, baseball and softball programs. Our Mission is to prepare, develop, and mentor baseball and softball players to achieve their goals and ultimately reach their full potential. USA Prime aims for all our baseball and softball players to play some level of college and/or Professional Team. We have built a Nationwide Team of the best coaches and placed them in an environment that continuously motivates and challenges them to be the best they can be to provide the greatest opportunities for our players.
