Every member is required to pay a membership fee of $225.00 1-time per year. If you are signing up on or after after Sept 1st, your $225 annual fee will be credited through all of the following year as well. If you are starting mid month, your monthly training fee will get credited toward next months dues and you will not be required to pay to train & play the current month you are starting with our program. We waive your first months training dues when you start and pay your membership fee.
This annual membership fee is a form of a "forced savings" plan for the organization. Here are some things it goes towards:
$60.00 Baseball Performance Academy facility fee- Every member out of SAN JUAN/SOUTH program is required to pay an additional $60.00 per month directly to BPA. This is a membership that allows you:
$150-$340- Uniform & Team Gear Bundle: This gets you a team helmet, team bag, home & away uniform, 2 pairs of pants, socks, belt. It also gets you team shorts and practice shirts for training. Essentially a large portion of this cost is normal costs associated with playing any type of organized baseball but at a discounted rate. We also have a team store with huge discounts from our Sponsors which will save you hundreds of dollars annually by taking advantage of using our store.For example, if you were to buy a bat in our store, you can expect to save anywhere between $70-$100 dollars on a bat and we are partnered with the #1 Bat & Glove Supplier currently through Wilson who owns Wilson Gloves, Demarini Bats, Lousiville Slugger Bats, and EvoShield.
$85.00 Tournament Fee: This item is paid a la carte when you attend a tournament. Some of this fee also goes to the coaches who attend the tournaments for their time & travel costs.
League or Umpire Fees (TBD): Depending on your team, your coach may have your team play in a league, play in a scrimmage game, etc. Those costs vary depending on the event. But typically for scrimmages you can plan on bringing $10 per game out for umpires, and a full season in a league can cost around $250.00 that would get you like a 15-20 game season.
We are a year round program that has players that play year round. We do have 2 seasons internally though that we operate under which is the Summer/Fall season which is baseball that starts in June-November and the Spring Season which runs from Mid January-May. Travel baseball age groups transition on August 1st every year. So we try to form our teams in the Spring in Preparation for the new age group transition at the end of Summer in August and heads into Fall Baseball. Some kids will return to recreational baseball in Spring also and then return in the following Summer.
Practice: We practice 2 times per week. Once in San Juan Capistrano at our training facility, and once on the field in South OC in Laguna Niguel/Dana Point area.
Travel: Most games are played in Orange County. From time to time, we will play in Chino, or Riverside County and some teams may opt to play out of state for special events such as a World Series or State Championship
Games: You can expect to play at least 2 weekends per month for the most part and we try to have 2 weekends off with no baseball activities.

Headquartered in Orange County, CA with teams in South OC- San Juan Capistrano/Laguna Niguel, North OC-Tustin/Irvine, Inland Empire- Rancho Cucamonga, San Diego- Carlsbad, Sacramento, Arizona, Florida, & Mississippi. The BPA club travel baseball team program is offered for ages 7-18 and designed to develop and mold athletes for college baseball. The high school teams will attend various college showcase events such as Wilson Premier, USA Baseball, and various private workouts across the country in front of various Division-1, D2, & D3 collegiate baseball programs across the USA. In some cases, some players will get drafted professionally right out of high school and in the MLB 2019 Draft, BPA had 6 players drafted by Major League Baseball.
BPA was founded on the premise of providing an opportunity of top instruction, for players that have a desire to play the game beyond a recreational level. Our purpose is to ensure players learn to play the game the right way and compete at the highest level. We aspire to positively influence a player’s next-level opportunity by providing them with the knowledge and skills required to play the game to the maximum of their potential.
Seeing someone miss an opportunity in their life, especially when its something they have so much passion and desire to be great at, in our eyes, is a travesty. Preventing this from happening to our players, and continuing to push of program alumni, beyond where they ever could of dreamed of playing is why we do what we do.
Through high-paced and intense practices, we focus on the physical and mental details of the game, with an emphasis on accountability. Optimal learning environments occurs when one is placed out of their comfort zone, and operating at the edge of their ability. Our highest priority is to at all times create an environment of care, transparency and concentrated discomfort, to make sure a player has the opportunity to maximize their potential.
We believe a coach’s duty is to prepare their players to not only be successful at their current level, but advance them to the next level in a way for them to thrive. We must develop genuine relationships, so we may be an ongoing resource as our players move through their playing career, and excel beyond high school.
ELITE/ GOLD SQUAD= Advanced in fundamentals & skills with an above average understanding of the game (advanced baseball IQ). These teams typically play tournaments (local, regional & National) exclusively in much faster pace of play than recreational leagues or All Stars. These are kids that are executing play consistently in games with things such as, executing defensive coverage & relays, hitting their cutoff man, running advanced defensive plays (timing & daylight pickoffs, understand defensive coverages- priorities on relays, rundowns, pop up priorities, bunt coverages, pitcher coverages & backups, etc.), understand base running such as primary & secondary leadoffs, know how to read a baseball out of the pitchers hand, can execute sacrifice offense, know when to tag, when go out halfway, and how read throws before advancing. These are just a handful of things we expect from our ELITE team players.
Note: The ELITE team players do not necessarily consist of the best hitters or hardest throwing pitchers. These players are simply put- our most all around polished players who understand the game the best.
PREMIERE= Average to Above Average fundamentals & skills with a general understanding of the game. These teams typically will consist of quality (Recreational and/or All Star players new to travel baseball) baseball talent (kids with natural raw talent offensively and defensively), however they are still learning to play the game at a much faster pace of play, and are still learning the knowledge side of the game.
SELECT= This is our developmental level of baseball reserved for committed youth baseball players that want to get better at the game of baseball while not be limited in developing by playing recreational baseball. There are a ton of kids out there that simply don't get opportunity to develop in recreational baseball because their dad is not the coach, they are small at a young age, etc. the list goes on. Development at a young age occurs rapidly. We have seen kids go from just learning to playing on the elite teams within 1 year. But they would never have that opportunity to get better because their recreational teams set them aside. By all means we are not putting down recreational baseball and we support those who continue playing. However, we also recognize there are a lot of really good future baseball players out there, that simply get turned off to the sport because they don't get opportunity. These kids will primarily play in our league formats until ready for tournament play.
