About our academy
Twenty-five years, two thousand players, one simple belief: kids who love practice become players who love the game.
Home / About Us
Built by coaches, backed by families
Grand Slam Juniors started in 2000 with two borrowed fields, fourteen kids, and a bag of taped-up baseballs. Today we run our own six-field complex in Austin, partner with eleven schools, and field thirty junior league teams every season.
What never changed is the ratio: no more than eight players per coach, every session planned in writing, and every child — from shy first-timer to travel-ball hopeful — getting real reps and real feedback.
- Certified, background-checked coaches at every session
- Maximum 8 players per coach, grouped by age and level
- Six maintained fields, batting cages, and video review room
- Scholarship places in every class for families who need them
Three programs, one pathway
Coaches who played the game
Our staff combines former college and minor-league players with trained youth educators. Head coach Marcus Reed leads the curriculum; hitting coach Tony Alvarez runs our video review lab.
