THE BEACH CITY PROSPECTS
UPCOMING TRYOUTS
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.

Why Prospects?
Choosing the right youth baseball team is a big decision. It can shape your child’s future on and off the field. At Beach City Baseball Academy, we’re committed to more than just building great players. We’re here to develop confident, disciplined, and well-rounded individuals who thrive in every aspect of life.
Here’s what makes the Prospects different:
Professional
Coaching
Our coaches are consistent, experienced, and invested. Each coach has played at the college or professional level and stays with their team from 8U through graduation of our program. This consistency builds trust, chemistry, and long-term player growth. Our focus is on development, discipline, and mentorship, not just game results. We believe great coaching is about relationships, accountability, and helping kids thrive both on and off the field. Instruction comes solely from our qualified staff while parents support from the sidelines.
Comprehensive Player Development
We focus on more than just mechanics. Our program emphasizes work ethic, leadership, game awareness, and personal growth. Through consistent reps, position flexibility, and real-time feedback, players improve faster and develop into complete athletes ready for the next level. Our coaches help players build confidence by setting goals and tracking progress throughout the season. Every practice is an opportunity to grow as both a player and a person.
Small Group
Focus
With a 6 to 1 player to coach ratio, every athlete gets individualized attention. Our small group model allows coaches to tailor instruction, and ensure no one falls through the cracks. We value quality instruction over large rosters and crowded practices. This structure makes every rep more intentional and every minute more productive. It also helps players feel seen, supported, and motivated to improve.
Dedicated
Facilities
Train in a professional grade environment. Our facility includes a 7 indoor batting cages, a private fully turfed infield, seven pitching mounds, 5 triple play ultra pitching machines, and a HitTrax for advanced data. Every tool and space is designed to help players build skills, confidence, and baseball IQ in a structured setting. We constantly invest in our facility to ensure our athletes train with the best equipment and resources available. It’s a space built for serious development and a good time.
Tournament Opportunities
Beach City Prospects teams play year round in top tier tournaments including PG, USSSA, NCS, USA and more. Our 12U team attends Cooperstown Dreams Park annually, a once in a lifetime experience. In case of weather related cancellations, we do our best to reschedule so players do not miss valuable opportunities to compete. We also choose tournaments that challenge our players and expose them to high level talent to prepare them for success on bigger stages as they grow.
Community and Member Benefits
The Beach City Baseball environment is built on mutual support, shared goals, and meaningful relationships. Families receive 10% off all BCBA programs and enjoy free unlimited access to facility rentals during the season. We believe in creating an environment where families feel welcome, players feel valued, and everyone works together to build something special. The culture here is one of hard work, loyalty, connection, and pride.
ABOUT TRYOUTS
BCBA hosts team evaluations twice a year for our Fall and Spring Prospect seasons at our facility in El Segundo, CA. Designed for competitive players ages 7–13, tryouts are a chance to showcase skill, athleticism, and coachability in a high-energy, team-oriented environment. Selection is competitive, but participation is always valuable. Whether you're aiming to make a roster or simply looking to grow as a player.
Tryouts are free of charge to ensure access to all, and required for all new players interested in joining a Prospect team.
Upcoming tryouts are posted on our homepage under "Upcoming Events" and shared via email and social media. Be sure to create a player account and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated. You can also click here to find your player's correct age group.
