Parkland Twins After School Program

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Parkland Minor Baseball Academy is excited to offer an after school program to kids from Parkland County and the greater Edmonton area.  The Academy will take place in the evenings and weekends which will allow kids to attend the school of their choice and train with our professional staff during the week.  Training will be open to athletes aged between 9 & 16 years old.  Players will learn general age appropriate individual and team skills which will enable them to get a jump start on Spring evaluations and their upcoming season.  The program will run from November through the end of February.
