Bulldog Baseball Academy
Update: 10/2/09
Hello Baseball fans, nice seeing you again and welcome to the DeMarini Bulldogs web site. This is the sixth year of the BBA and we are ready to “Play Ball.” The Bulldog staff, combined, has over 60 years of coaching experience in youth athletics and is dedicated to educating themselves by attending coaching camps and clinics offered throughout Oregon and Washington. We have now grown to over 95 players per year. With the addition of our Arizona teams, the Bulldogs have grown to over 8 teams on the West Coast.
Congratulations are in order to our 2009 10U, 11U, 13U & 14U teams for their hard work, sacrifice and dedication to improving their baseball fundamentals. They learned how to lead off bases, throw from the stretch and hold runners on just as if they were big leaguers on T.V. The Bulldog organization has evolved over the past 5yrs, with the help of over 100 volunteers from all over the West Coast. Many of the 10U & 11U players from the first year are reaching High School. Over 90% of the Bulldog players are starting on their High School teams! It will be fun to watch them through HS and many into college. Nice job Bulldogs!
We would like to thank Jerry Garnett (DeMarini Bat Division) of Wilson / DeMarini sports for his product sponsorship. Also we want to include a special "Thank You" to everyone who has donated time and coaching to the Bulldog Academy!

August 2009:
We expanded teams to Arizona with the help of the entire NW Academy. Both Arizona teams feature MLB pitching instructors (Mike Grace - Phillies, Phil Siebel - Red Sox). Our Arizona teams have completed their tryouts, and both teams are ready to being training and conditioning. Since the season in Arizona is opposite from our NW Academy, it will be fun to begin our year round program.
Continue to watch for Bulldog updates, as we expand across the West Coast!
GO BULLDOGS!
Play Harder, Longer!
