ABOUT THE PROSPECTS: OUR WINNING PHILOSOPHY
At Beach City Baseball Academy, we pride ourselves on being the premier 13 and under program in the area, dedicated to nurturing well-rounded athletes. Our mission is to provide an environment where players can thrive, grow, and create lasting memories as they proudly represent our organization.
​
Our coaching philosophy is built on the pillars of family, cooperation, respect, loyalty, commitment, consistency and shared responsibility. We believe that both success and adversity are powerful learning experiences that shape character and resilience. We instill in our players the spirit of asking, "What have I done for my team today?" By striving for excellence, we empower our athletes to embrace challenges and overcome setbacks, understanding that true winners are defined not by their strikeouts but by how they handle them.
​
Our coaches lead by example, teaching players that no matter the outcome of the game, the only true loss is the missed opportunity to give your all to your team and the sport. We hope that Prospects players leave our program knowing that when we each do our best and give the game our full effort, we are winners regardless of the final score.​​
At Beach City Baseball Academy, our vision extends beyond skill development. We aim for each player to graduate from our program enriched with life skills—teamwork, perseverance, and a sense of fulfillment—that will lead to success in all aspects of life. Joining our academy means embarking on a journey where a love for baseball ignites personal growth and lifelong friendships, fostering a family atmosphere nurtured by consistent coaching and mentorship both on and off the field.

Read up on what sets us apart from other programs!
​
Professional Coaching: All of our experienced coaches have a minimum of college level play under their belt. Prospect coaches excel at consistency, and will stay with the same team from 8U to graduation from the program, rather than just coaching individual games or the same age group every year. Beach City coaches are active in the community, and provide expert guidance, nurturing young talent and instilling a love for the game. We believe that the most impactful coaching comes from our experienced staff, which is why our program does not endorse parent coaching. We encourage parents to enjoy the experience from the sidelines.
​
Dedicated Facilities: Our state-of-the-art facility includes a private infield, seven pitching mounds, advanced triple-play ultra pitching machines, and a HitTrax baseball simulator, creating an optimal environment for skill development.
​
Player Development: We focus on fostering work ethic, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship, helping your child grow on and off the field. Our intense practices allow players to learn, improve, and demonstrate their skills, commitment, and sportsmanship, earning more playing time and the chance to explore different positions. Our mission is to develop well-rounded individuals prepared for success in any endeavor.​​
​
​Tournament Opportunities: The Prospects play all year round, gaining valuable experience and improving performance under pressure. Prospects compete in prestigious tournaments hosted by organizations including NCS, USSSA, Triple Crown, USA and PG. Every year, we send or 12U team to the legendary Cooperstown Dreams Park, where we proudly hold winning titles throughout the years.
​
Ideal Coach-to-Player Ratio: A 6:1 ratio ensures personalized attention, tailored coaching, and focused development for each player. This approach allows us to understand each player's unique strengths and areas for improvement. We would rather have fewer players on the roster that receive individualized attention, than more who may fall through the cracks.
​
Program Options: We offer diverse programs for different age groups and skill levels, from beginners to advanced players, ensuring a perfect fit for every child.
​
Thriving Community: Join a close-knit community of players, coaches, and families, fostering lasting friendships and cherished memories. The Beach City Prospects is more than just a team; it’s a supportive community.
​
Exclusive Offers: Prospects receive a 10% discount on all programs offered at BCBA, and are given a free Propsects-Only unlimited facility rental membership while in season, encouraging continuous practice and improvement.
​
At Beach City Baseball Academy, we are not just a baseball program; we are a tight-knit community of players, coaches, and families who share a passion for the sport. We believe in nurturing both the skills and character of our players, instilling in them values that extend beyond the field. Whether your child is taking their first steps in baseball or dreams of becoming a top-tier player, our program is designed to foster growth, confidence, and lasting memories. Join us today and be a part of the extraordinary journey with The Beach City Prospects!

ABOUT TRYOUTS
BCBA hosts tryouts two times per year for the Fall and Spring Seasons at our facility in El Segundo, CA. Catered to competitive young athletes aged 6-14, this event is a chance to demonstrate your skills and dedication to the sport. The tryouts are an integral part of the team's selection process, designed to identify players who can excel in a high-stakes, team-oriented setting. Please note that while selection is competitive, participation is a valuable step in your development, regardless of the outcome. Bring your best gear – glove, bat, and a positive attitude.
​
Upcoming tryouts can be found on the home page under "upcoming events." Tryout dates will also be sent out via email and social media so be sure to make an account for your child HERE, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

​
Every season, all potential new Prospect players are required to try out. If a player demonstrates at tryouts that they are ready for competitive play, but a spot is not immediately available, we encourage them to stay in our system and play on a recreational team or practice with our coaches.
