Reply to "IMG ACADEMY (My Opinion)"

Happy to hear you had a positive experience!

 

I commented back in April so won't reiterate the good/bad/ugly of IMG.  Having had two sons go there for camps and the full time high school and middle school program, mine is just one man's opinion. 

 

While the facilities are awesome at IMG, and the weather can be great, the price tag is too severe for what the "average" player receives.  I have one son now playing D1 and another playing high school varsity.  For better or worse, we've taken a look at many, many things over the years.

 

I take the Texas Baseball Ranch and their rough around the edges facilities over IMG any day in terms of bang for the buck.  The pitching instruction from Ron Woolforth and staff has been incredible.  I can reel off quite a few talented middle infield and batting instructors around the country too.  At IMG, Edgar Caceres is the man.

 

IMG is a for profit academy.  The full time program at IMG will now set a family back $75K+.  IMG brings in a few scholarship players every year (top baseball players who are getting a full ride).  The rest of us subsidize them. 

 

I strongly recommend against the full time program.  It is not worth the $...

 

For a camp or the Summer wood bat league, you'd have to weigh the cost/benefit to one's family as those camps/leagues are pretty expensive too.
