Built on family.
Backed by experience.
Twenty years of building schools. A lifetime of baseball. One academy that brings them together.
Even great hitters fail often. Learning to respond is part of the training.
Founder Tiffany Romero comes from a baseball family. Her father grew up in the Dominican Republic, where he learned to play with rocks and sticks before he had proper equipment. He brought that love of the game to New York, and Tiffany grew up with baseball on every TV and in every neighborhood park.
After more than twenty years building and leading schools in New York and Florida, Tiffany found a home for the academy in Port St. Lucie. The campus sits directly across from Clover Park, the spring training home of the New York Mets.
