Welcome
to AcademyELITE baseball. While serving as Director of Baseball Operations
with The Strike Zone Academy, Phil Apostle helped more than sixty players reach the collegiate level of baseball
and beyond in his 13 years there. Through a growing network of trusting coaches, Phil began the process of creating
quality video product, professional baseball instruction and qualified collegiate application endorsement for qualified
players. This program is aimed at improving player services with an increased attention to detail. In Coach
Apostle's experience in professional baseball, both as a player and scout, he notes the one ingredient that all successful
players have is the ability to be self motivated and passionate about their skills and how they might be percieved.
The environment a player trains in will have a direct effect on these traits.
These days, it seems, every
little-league dad with a big-league dream and warehouse space is teaching the game with mixed results and limited coaching
and playing experience. At AcademyELITE, there are no coach's sons, political agendas or special interests of
any kind. Just baseball. From choosing the right bat to supporting your college applications, AcademyELITE will
make a commitment to you if you are willing to get after making yourself the best and most attractive player you can be.
Personal relationships and integrity are the cornerstones of every quality learning environment. Phil and
his staff have trained over 200 varsity high school, 60 collegiate players and professionals, and a host of talented
young coaches. Our track record is battle-tested and unrivaled. If a player has goals of high school baseball and beyond, the decision of where and, more importantly, HOW
to train is more in focus than ever. We invite you to experience the personality and "feel" for the game that
our staff offers. We want you to get as much out of this great game as your skills and makeup will allow. Personal relationships and, above
all else, integrity. Welcome to AcademyELITE
