The 18U SIO baseball team. Here is where I will tell you about our team. And all the benefits of how we are better than the competition.

Inclusive of on-field baseball training, enhancement of playing time and experience through multiple teams, college recruitment exposure, and athletic growth from the strength and mental conditioning realms, the baseball academy molds student-athletes into the most sought-after athletes at college showcases and beyond.
