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.

$75.00 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.

SEASON INFO

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.

What Separates Us from Everyone Else?

Justifying Substantial Value- These are all things to consider when you look at what you pay, and the value you get with us, but more importantly- is your son getting better at baseball and getting prepared for high school or college baseball?

• Your team will be coached by professional coaches not parents
• Every week, our players attend a speed, strength, & conditioning class in addition to baseball training.
• Big West is one of the fastest growing youth program in the Country. With that has come tremendous success from State championships, to All American & USA Baseball selections at ages 8U-11U. We can confidently say that no club in the area offers what we offer at the youth level.
• in 2018 We put 13 youth players ages 9-11 in National All American programs and played events in Florida, South Carolina, Texas, & Georgia, an Nevada.
• BPA is hands down one of the most successful college placement programs  in the country and is only 1 of 20 Wilson Premiere Organizations. There are only 3 in the California and none in Orange County other than BPA.
• Last year BPA put 23 athletes in NCAAA Division 1 college baseball programs alone and 3 were drafted professionally.
• BPA has an extensive college recruiting network with direct access to the coaches & recruiters and 10 years of proven success placing kids in college.
• Your son will have the opportunity to mix in with other BPA teams (Orange County,San Diego, Sacramento, etc)- meet new friends, gain new experiences, etc.

Other things to keep in mind when comparing us to other clubs:

• Do they have their own training facility?
• Do they have a strong recruiting platform that will continue to bring in quality talent that will surround & push your son to get better? Think about how you found us? Do you see any other clubs doing what we do to to build & grow?
• Do they offer additional training such as speed, strength, agility, etc.
• Do they play high level events such as NITS, Select 30s, etc against the best competition around, or do they play in Pony Leagues, Sunday leagues with low level talent, or low level tourneys, etc? This is important because your son will not get better playing against kids he is better than every day.
