I know this isn't about a college specifically, but it is related. Does anyone know anything about the IMG Academy in Florida? I heard they have a very good training program for college ballplayers.

TRHit - You must know something about IMG!
The college team I follow played at IMG during the spring trip. I read their brochures for their college wood bat summer league. The biggest impression that IMG made on me was that it cost BIG $.
TARatko had a son who attended IMG.
He usually "snoops" around each site and you should hear from him soon.

TARatko...I have no idea how to access my private message. Could you please e-mail me at: js08560@hotmail.com regarding IMG? Thanks!
P.S. If anyone can post some instructions or let me know where I can find out how to access private messages, I would appreciate it.

No word yet from TARatko. Anyone else have some insight regarding IMG?
HitandRun,
My nephew attends IMG. He is completing his first year. He is getting much better and stronger. Academics are excellent. Classes in the morning, then baseball practice, and finally ends up the day in weight and speed training. Menus are planned for each player to meet their specific needs. A little pricey for my taste but my sister and brother-in law seem to be getting what they want for their son.

I visited the school and meet with the coaches back in September and needless to say I was impressed with there whole set up. My son attended a 1 week camp last summer and will be attending the high wood bat league this summer.

IMG is an academy for differents sports, baseball is one of them, they also have tennis, baskeball etc...and they seem to offer a whole bunch of schollarship money to eastern european athletes, they don't pay, that goes for tennis.
Most High School players going there are from out state, excellent facilities and training for the player who want to take his game to the next level.
The only problem is that's really expensive for the regular Joe, about 30K p/yr plus extras.
Also, as a parent you have to be honest and see if your son has what it take to get to the next level, beyond High School, for that kind of tuition, otherwise will be IMO, a wasted of money and time with your son.
Remember IMG is a boarding school, people from Florida don't care to much about it.
They play their H.S. season under Pendleton High School, they play against some good competition, but are not able to participate at the state championship...it's that enought??
Good luck.

I'm curious about an issue related to this topic. Does anyone know of a program perhaps similar to IMG, that someone could go to post highschool (in this case an 05 graduate) in order to work fulltime or almost fulltime on their baseball skills?
Anything like that in CA, AZ, or TX?
