Play Club Baseball, Play Paladin!
Paladin Baseball Club is a competitive, team oriented program designed to develop and enhance the individual and team skills needed to compete at a higher level. Our Arizona Club Baseball teams compete in tournaments and register in established leagues throughout the Valley.
While club baseball competition breeds intensity, we believe as a Christian-based organization that club sports should be played the right way. Our club baseball teams display integrity, sportsmanship, respect, kindness and ultimately a Christ-like attitude on and off the field. Prayer is cornerstone of each of our club baseball teams as well as an outreach to the teams we compete against.
Placement onto a club baseball team is determined through an assessment, tryout or player draft.
HS 15U-18U / Collegiate Club Baseball
We offer a competitive, team oriented program designed to develop and enhance the individual skills needed to compete at the high school level and beyond. PBC has teams competing at the collegiate level and at the high school level 15U-18U and the focus is individual player development. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals as a player and that involves utilizing all the resources available.
The things we focus on are:
- Individual Skills Development
- Hitting Mechanics
- Defensive Skills
- Speed and Mobility
- Mental Approach
Other resources provided:
- Nutrition (so much info out there!)
- Flexibility – often forgotten about but so many MLB folks testify that flexibility is key!
- College recruiting guidance (such a tough landscape to navigate)
When you reach this level the focus tends to be the sport. We believe as a Christian-based organization that club sports are great, but shouldn’t replace or interfere with our relationship with God. Prayer is the cornerstone of this program as well as time dedicated to devotionals.
