MAX Academy is an enrichment program designed for 7th and 8th grade student-athletes who are serious about their personal, academic, and athletic development. Built on structure, accountability, and discipline, MAX Academy helps students develop strong habits during one of the most important developmental stages—the transition into high school.

This program is also ideal for athletes who do not plan to reclassify but want to enter high school physically prepared, mentally confident, and ready to handle the demands of both academics and athletics.

MAX Academy is a baseball-only enrichment program for motivated 7th and 8th grade student-athletes preparing for the transition to high school. Built on structure, accountability, and discipline, the program focuses on developing strong habits during a critical stage of growth.

​

Athletes train in a professional environment at MAX Baseball Center, receiving high-volume, detail-driven baseball instruction. We focus exclusively on baseball—no other sports—allowing athletes to take hundreds of quality swings per day, develop defensively, and build game-specific athletic movement. Each athlete is evaluated based on body type, skill set, and long-term projectability to ensure individualized development.

​

Nutrition and physical preparation are key components of the program. Athletes are guided to fuel properly—whether building strength or managing body composition—so they enter high school physically prepared to compete.

​

MAX Academy also supports families through the high school placement process. We help student-athletes pursue and commit to top public, parochial, boarding, and day schools throughout the Northeast, leveraging established relationships and firsthand knowledge of these programs. Our guidance ensures families make informed decisions that give athletes a realistic opportunity to compete early, rather than waiting years for exposure.

 

Beyond baseball, the program emphasizes leadership, responsibility, and accountability through school trips and community service. MAX Academy is an enrichment program—not a school—designed to complement a student’s academic path while laying the foundation for long-term success on and off the field.
