9U–12U

Laying the Groundwork for Long-Term Success

At the 9U–12U levels, Runbirds Baseball is focused on mastering the fundamentals, building strong habits through quality repetitions, and fostering a culture of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Our coaching staff plays a vital role in shaping each player’s confidence and understanding of the game. We prioritize clear, age-appropriate communication, a positive and energetic learning environment, and the importance of playing the game the right way—every day.
Training at this stage emphasizes fundamental skill development in throwing, hitting, base running, and fielding, while also introducing game awareness, leadership, and accountability on and off the field. Players are encouraged to adopt a team-first mindset and build confidence through consistent feedback and support.

13U–14U

Focused Preparation for High School Baseball

The 13U–14U stage is a key transition period as players prepare for the physical and mental demands of high school baseball. At this level, we emphasize consistent training routines, strength and conditioning, and the discipline required to compete at a higher level.
As players experience rapid growth both on and off the field, our coaching staff is fully invested in guiding their development. Training focuses on advanced drills and concepts, improved baseball IQ, positional awareness, and individual responsibility—all within a structured, competitive, and supportive environment.
We place a strong emphasis on routine building, daily habits, and learning how to “think the game,” helping players compete with confidence and purpose. Position-specific coaching ensures each athlete continues to grow in their role while developing a complete understanding of the game.
Our goal is to mold knowledgeable, well-rounded ballplayers who are prepared to thrive at the high school level and beyond.

15U–17U

College Preparation

The RunBirds 15U–17U program is designed for players who aspire to compete at the collegiate level. Our mission is to support each student-athlete in finding a college or university that fits them academically, athletically, socially, and financially.
We provide a comprehensive development and exposure platform through participation in high-level tournaments, showcases, and college camps throughout the summer. These opportunities are carefully selected to maximize recruiting visibility and provide valuable experience against elite competition.
In addition to continued on-field development and strength training, our coaching staff offers guidance throughout the recruiting process. This includes assistance with communication, video creation, outreach to college coaches, and navigating the expectations of college baseball.
Character, accountability, and leadership remain central to our program. We are deeply committed to helping athletes approach the recruiting process with confidence, preparation, and a clear sense of purpose.
