Since 2005, the Ann Arbor A's have worked toward becoming the premier travel baseball program in both Washtenaw County, and southeast Michigan. With a strong emphasis on fundamentals, and proper training, the A's have enjoyed tremendous success since that original team 16 years ago. In 2021, the A's has grown it's ranks to include nearly 200 ballplayers from all corners of southeast Michigan to comprise an incredible 17 teams between the 8U and 14U divisions. Additionally, the A's enjoyed tremendous growth and success among the ranks of the Kensignton Valley Baseball and Softball Association (KVBSA) as well as local and national tournaments in 2021. This season's successes comes on the heels of the opening of our brand-new state-of-the-art facility - South State Sports - located just up the road in Saline, MI. There, the A's enjoy the benefits of a 10,000sq foot facility strictly dedicated to maximizing the development of athletes both physically and mentally. Tryouts are typically held in Late July - Early August with winter workouts beginning at South State Sports in December or January. The A’s philosophy is to focus on playing baseball the right way and develop the fundamentals of each and every player in the organization. Each coach strives to instill the following principles within their players: Play hard – Give 100% effort on and off the field. Teach the fundamentals of fielding, hitting, throwing, and base running. Respect the game of baseball Good sportsmanship – respect coaches, umpires, players, and parents – win and lose graciously. Be coachable – receive constructive feedback from coaches and work to improve technique. Have fun playing the great game of baseball!By implementing these philosophies, the A's are able to build strong teams, a strong organization, and most importantly- strong young men.
