Northwest Baseball Academy is a not-for-profit educational corporation under IRS code 501(c)(3).  Established in 1996, the Academy provides northwest youth with a positive environment for personal development in the area of athletics.  The programs build self-esteem by teaching participants skills such as goal setting and attainment, self-discipline, teamwork and proper physical conditioning.  The programs focus on communication, professional conduct, self-motivation and awareness as well as a players ability to accept responsibility for their own decisions.

Northwest Baseball Academy runs 5 Seattle Bomber summer teams (U13, U14, U15, U16 and U18).  Our coaching staff works together as a group, the teams are part of an organization not independent teams under one umbrella.  With 12 years of teaching youth baseball, the Academy has taken players from the little league level to the Collegiate and Professional Level of play (Past Players).  Our coaching staff has the knowledge and experience to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of an individual player and how develop each player to meet their fullest potential in a team setting.
