The ACBF (Alberta Collegiate Baseball Foundation) feels strongly about
developing a program that will go above and beyond the idea of just getting
players into college baseball programs. Once there, we want our athletes to
excel and be key “go-to guys” displaying leadership, physical and mental
toughness and a passionate hunger to get better and make those around
them better in the process.
Through exposure to a prescribed and measured physical and mental training program, a demand for commitment from the coaching staff, and a requirement that all athletes participate in community-related projects and initiatives as part of the Academy’s team-building and goal-oriented philosophy, the ACBF feels confident in guaranteeing that any and all athletes participating in the newly formed Prospects Baseball Academy will not only excel in their short term high school and college endeavors, but will gain long-term life skills and character attributes that will serve them well for the balance of their lives.
A major contributor to the Academy’s success is a firm belief that players must test their training and progress by facing stiff competition on a consistent basis. Accordingly, the Prospects Academy Program will provide a comprehensive schedule that rivals any team in Western Canada, offering a 100+ game circuit that will run from September to August with the inclusion of Showcase Tournaments in Arizona, Kansas and British Colombia.

In addition, the Academy will play a local schedule with tournaments and exhibition games within Western Canada. This will provide players the best opportunity to develop and gain the on-field experience required to excel at the next level.
