Sluggers Programs

New Mexico's most successful, High School Select Team and Fall Showcase Team Program, is now offering the same high level program for younger players. The ABA Slugger Program is designed for players ages 9-14 who have the goals of playing baseball at the next levels. Player/Athlete Development: The goal of the Slugger Program is to develop each player and each team, by providing specific training, based on age and ability. Formula for Success:

• Take a good student/athlete and provide professional training and coaching
• Strength, Speed and Agility Training
• Teach proper fundamentals through hitting, turf and field practices
• Play a competitive schedule in the local USSSA league and for some teams, travel to Arizona in the Fall and Spring
• At the ABA we consider our Slugger Program a High School Prep program. By laying the foundation of fundamentals our players can move through their respective High School programs quicker and have the ability to compete for their High School Varsity teams and play in our High School Summer Select program

ABA Sluggers Mission Statement (s):

• We are 100% committed to Player Development
• We will build each players confidence and self-esteem through practice and competition
• In addition to fundamentals of baseball, we will teach players to play the game the "RIGHT WAY"
• We will teach sportsmanship and the values that are important in sports and in life. Values such as loyalty, integrity and hard work
• We will educate players on the importance of schoolwork and making good grades and that colleges look at G.P.A and A.C.T scores as closely as their athletic skills
• Players will be provided the same comprehensive instruction as our High School programs
• Each player in this program will get the highest level of instruction from our professional instructors
