About
North Seattle Baseball Academy offers professional, individualized baseball training through individual instruction and weekly 1-hour skill-training sessions. The program also offers Private Training for players who want additional instruction beyond the regular sessions.
• Ages: 9–12 years old
• Schedule: Weekly 1-hour skill-training sessions
• Price: Low player-to-instructor ratios are extremely valuable and therefore somewhat expensive, but we have done our best to make this program as affordable as possible.
Instruction is led by Graylin Derke, a professional instructor and coach for the North Seattle Rainiers select teams. The program is organized by North Seattle Baseball, a certified non-profit all-volunteer organization that runs this and other baseball programs in the North Seattle area. North Seattle Baseball is an established youth baseball league serving North Seattle families and is run by parents and other volunteers. The North Seattle Baseball & Softball Association’s mission is to teach the fundamental skills of baseball and softball while using the league as a way to provide personal growth for players and help build communities.
North Seattle Baseball Academy offers professional training at an affordable price with low player-to-coach ratios that provide individualized attention. The program is open to all players 9–12 years of age regardless of skill level and was created as an alternative to select teams. It is described as a stepping-stone to higher-level play, including select programs like the North Seattle Rainiers, while allowing kids more time for other sports and unstructured time. Players train in a fun, low-pressure, learning environment, and scholarships and Private Training are available.
