Welcome to Tru Pro Academy
Formally Sandlot Academy
NEW Name Same Great Facilty and Trainers!

It is the mission of Tru Pro Academy to become the premier provider of baseball and softball instruction. Our specialized instructional program goes beyond just the physical training on the field to include heart, attitude, and mental preparation. Our goal is to instill a life-long learning system for both mind and body. Our programs are designed to help parents create successful, dedicated and respectful children by reinforcing positive values in our unique baseball/softball setting. Students not only learn how to play the games, but also learn self confidence by setting and reaching goals, self esteem by continual growth, improvement on and off the field, and respect for others and themselves.

The Tru Pro Academy training approach is based on the five physical tools that major league baseball scouts look at when evaluating players. Those five physical tools are:

Running: speed and base running abilities
Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
Hitting for average: situational hitting
Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball

The sixth and maybe the most important area a scout evaluates are referred to in the industry as "makeup". This in essence is the character of the player, the overall players attitude, dedication, level of respect and self confidence. Many times the sixth tool, the players mental aspect, determines if the player makes the team, earns the scholarship, or is offered the professional contract. This sixth element is the core of Tru Pro Academy training and how we differentiate ourselves from the competition.
