Northeast College Bus Tour
- The Northeast Bus Tour is a four day trip, with the top priority of giving every student athlete on the bus a first hand take on the college experience. Our mission at BBA is to provide each player the opportunity to showcase their abilities, on the field and off the field, in front of the top academic programs in the Northeast. The BBA Northeast College Bus Tour offers a unique focus on utilizing a strong academic background to aid in the college recruitment process. Our 2023 Northeast Bus Tour also includes two Instructional Scout Days at our BBA Indoor Facility in Reston, VA and the MSI Sports Complex just south of Philadelphia, PA in front of 20-25 college coaches.
- We also include an instructional aspect at our workouts along the way, by giving the players the opportunity to work with college coaches on hitting, defense, pitching, base running and other aspects of the game.
- The trip offers a personal and in-depth look into several top northeastern college baseball programs, which is not provided at a typical showcase event.
- 1900+ College Coaches will receive each player’s digital report card consisting of video footage, a Pitching Rapsodo Report, a Blast Motion Report, a HitTrax Report, other miscellaneous metrics, player profile info and more!
- College List Creation, Assistance and Guidance
- Daily ‘Skull Sessions’ with college coaches on aspects of the game, recruiting and more throughout the trip.
- The bus will depart in the morning of Monday June 19th from Washington, DC and will conclude in the evening on Thursday June 22nd in Reston, VA. For all players flying in from outside the DMV area, you will need to book your flights in and out of Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI). Flights are not included in the registration fee. For those players flying from outside of the DC area, we can provide hotel options or a host family from our BBA organization for the night of June 18th. Our staff will also be at the airport to pick up all out of town players and take them to their hotel or host family’s house on the 18th.
