General Information

Bradley Baseball Academia is a year-round organization that offers travel, academic showcase and college aged teams during all the Spring, Summer and Fall. The number of teams we field varies with each season and players must tryout to receive an offer to play on one of our teams. We hold multiple tryouts throughout the year, and this page will be updated regularly as tryout information becomes available. All of our teams participate in optional Friday Night Skills Training, which focuses heavily on fundamental drill work to improve and prepare for the upcoming weekend’s games. Additionally, all of our teams will participate in local, as well as out of town tournaments, and our Academic Showcase and Prep teams will also receive first hand campus tours from college coaches while participating in pro style workouts and simulated games in front of these coaches. Our college summer team plays locally and are comprised of current student athletes from all over the country.

We typically field approximately two 13/14u teams, four high school teams, one all academic showcase team, and one collegiate team for a total of 8 rosters.

This varies depending on the age group, as our Academic Showcase Team plays in more events, tournaments and showcases than our younger teams.
