innovative and comfortable environment to learn and develop their skills. Within this organization every aspiring baseball player is welcome to learn, grow and assimilate into our baseball culture. As an owner or staff member, the philosophy of Ninth Inning is to make sure our students and families come first. &nbsp;Clients are not a number they are family and a core value here. Make each kid feel like one of the guys\/girls and part of our clubhouse. &nbsp;High five, have fun and never forget why we love this game. &nbsp;This is not a job but a way of life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\" id=\"mission-statement\">Mission Statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To empower, inspire and motivate athletes professionally through baseball education and its culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\" id=\"vision-statement\">Vision Statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become the national leader in professional baseball instruction and competitive travel teams franchises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ninth Inning Baseball has founded, grown, and maintained our travel program on the premise of injecting all-encompassing instruction into the playing careers of our athletes. We believe wholeheartedly that growth and development does not come from the number of games that are played, but by the time spent by both the player and our staff concentrating on their individual game. As Professionals and teachers of the game, we are passionate about investing time in our players individually to ensure that they have the tools necessary to play at any level they desire. This passion to teach incorporates all phases of the growth and development process: skill instruction, mental approach, health and wellness, and strength, speed, and agility training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover ghostkit-custom-Z2wxmp8\" style=\"min-height:150px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-424\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/diamond-allegiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2023\/04\/diagonal-stripe-dark.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-center is-style-heading-with-underline has-text-color\" id=\"power-tv\" style=\"color:#ffcc08;font-size:30px\">Coaching Staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/ninthinningbaseball\/about\/staff\/\">view our paid coaching staff<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide ghostkit-custom-Z1J48kq\" style=\"min-height:350px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-424\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/diamond-allegiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/133\/2023\/04\/diagonal-stripe-dark.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-theme-primary-background-color has-background-dim-70 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ghostkit-custom-Z205w6j\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns ghostkit-custom-Z221VFu is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\" id=\"about-the-program\">About the Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ninth Inning Royals program consists of four pillars we believe lead to growth, development, and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instruction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strength\/Health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Game Play<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>College Recruitment\/Advisement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instruction is the backbone of Ninth Inning baseball and we encourage all of our kids to invest their time in getting individual instruction with one of our staff members. If we grow as individuals, we grow as a team, and grow as an organization.&nbsp; Additionally, practices are designed to help hone the skills of&nbsp;individual players while working towards an understanding of the TEAM game and each player\u2019s role within that team. In order to accomplish this, Ninth Inning Baseball is looking for&nbsp;<strong>COMMITTED <\/strong>players and families that share the same desire for growth and development. If you cannot commit to this team and this process, this program is not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we have continued to grow as one of the top training facilities in the southeast, this year we have expanded our TEAM camps\/clinics for the players in our organization. While private instruction is very important, we believe that offering position specific camps\/clinics to our team members will continue to enhance our player development and ensure our kids are being taught the fundamentals early on and are able to build upon that foundation as they age up through the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the number of arm injuries increasing each year, the health of our players is a major concern and is not taken lightly. Proper preparation, maintenance, and knowledge of a player\u2019s body, proper technique, and discipline are an integral part to the maturation process of each player that desires to play at a higher level. With our wealth of knowledge in regards&nbsp;to properly preparing the body for on-field performance at the highest level, we are able to continually keep player\u2019s healthy and aware of how to take care of their bodies on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not as important as instruction and staying healthy, game play is certainly an important piece to the puzzle for our player\u2019s to take what they\u2019ve learned and apply it in action. Our program is a full year centered on player development and high-level game play experience, and each player will participate in both a FALL tournament schedule as well as a SPRING\/SUMMER schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From our College Placement\/Advisement program, Ninth Inning (15U-18U Teams) has become fully integrated with SportsRecruits. This is a software platform that helps OUR young men play a more integral part in their own recruiting process. We have always spent countless hours on the phone promoting our players and getting them to the next level, but this allows our players the opportunity to be more proactive in marketing themselves to college coaches. This is to supplemental service to what we already do as an organization and provides a place to park their video, highlight reels and statistics from season prior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-with-underline\" id=\"what-is-included\">What is Included?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inclusions are always a very popular question for families. What do I get for my money? Below you will find a breakdown of the key features we utilize at Ninth Inning to produce value for our players and families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ Starting August 15th&nbsp;and running through July 15th, all our players have unlimited* access to cage time at the Ninth Inning Facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ Access to age-specific TEAM camps\/clinics held periodically throughout the year that focus on position-specific fundamentals as well as teaching the mental aspect of the game. As our TEAM Clinics continue to grow, they have been recognized as a valuable source of development for those who desire to focus on their skill set at specific positions on the field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ A <strong>NEW <\/strong>addition for our High School athletes this year will be FREE access to a PRESS Sports profile. With Social Media now playing a bigger role in the recruiting process, this will allow athletes to post highlight videos of themselves to the Ninth Inning club profile and their individual profile for instant exposure to college coaches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+<strong> Ninth Inning&#8217;s state-of-the-art Performance Lab <\/strong>continues to push out healthy, power arms that provide consistent performance on the field. Based off the successful growth and analytical data captured over the course of the last few years<strong>, <\/strong>we continue to use the data to change how we prepare, train, and maintain the health of our athletes who participate in the program. The data and performance metrics, mixed with the best technology available to us in the industry, we are able to create performance that TRANSLATES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ For the more advanced 14U-18U players, we have our $200\/monthly UNLIMITED A.P.E. Program better than ever! This allows you up to focus on the multi-phase Sports Performance Program that will give you the opportunity to monitor benchmarks, and quantify growth and power using TRAQ software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ All gear, including hats that isn\u2019t included in the uniform package that is ordered through the Wilson\/Evoshield Team Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ Tournament fees, insurance policies, umpires, field rental, facility upkeep, cage time, program resources, and coach\u2019s salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ For ALL teams, team equipment needs such as baseballs, line-up cards, catcher\u2019s gear, training tools, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+ Payments are broken into monthly installments for all Royals tournaments teams (8U-18U).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-expect\">What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Ninth Inning you can expect to play a 2-3 tournament fall season and an 8-10 tournament Spring\/Summer season (weather permitting). Ninth Inning encourages participation in other sports with the understanding that the Royals Program is a year-round program based on growth and development. Believing in the concept of a FULL program, we will compete in a fall tournament schedule and we expect all of our players to participate, as they are able. This is truly the only way to learn about each other, our strengths, and our weaknesses so that we can take the off-season to work on our deficiencies and hone our skills to be the best team we can be in the spring\/summer. In addition to the tournament schedule and strength program, players can expect to practice 1-2 times per week utilizing the indoor facility as well as outdoor practice fields at our home fields at&nbsp;<strong>Chamblee High School,&nbsp;Greater Atlanta Christian Academy,&nbsp;Brook Run Park,&nbsp;North Springs High School,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Providence Christian Academy,&nbsp;and Norcross High School<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;As we continue our partnerships with our rental facilities, we plan to utilize these facilities for additional practices opportunities when available over the course of the season to maximize that on-field development!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+There will be limited throwing for our players in November and December as we believe it is imperative based on all the research available that our athlete\u2019s need time to give their arms a rest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+For 8U-12U age groups, tournament play will begin late February and at this time we expect all players to be at every practice and every tournament game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+For 13U and 14U, tournament play will begin Mid-April to allow our players time to compete with their middle school teams. Once the NI tournament schedule begins, you are required to be at all practices and games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">+For 15U-18U, once high school baseball begins all mandatory practices will cease for the Ninth Inning team until the conclusion of the high school season. Tournament play for these age groups will begin&nbsp;mid-May and carry through the duration of the summer. These are rigorous age groups and athletes can expect a practice or a workout EVERY day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals Baseball Powered by Wilson, DeMarini, EvoShield, Louisville Slugger Ninth Inning Baseball&nbsp;has been built by one of the best coaching staffs in the country, putting over 215 kids in college [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1092,"featured_media":0,"parent":7,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","_genesis_hide_title":true,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","sec_layout_page":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1132","page","type-page","status-publish","entry","has-post-thumbnail"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
