The ATHX Academy Model

The ATHX program combines 20 years of sports development experience and elite coaching with state-of-the-art technology and innovative training to help our players succeed both on and off the field. The program exists as an outlet for all players to develop their talents and potential.

ATHX Baseball Academy is available to ages 13U/15U/18U. Training is also available to those who are not enrolled in academy programs.

RE/MAX Field is the home field of the ATHX Baseball Academy. All of our Academy programs have the opportunity to practice at RE/MAX.

Our goal at ATHX is to ensure Baseball continues to grow in the City of Edmonton. Not just the passion for the sport, but the level of competition.

Our off-season training and development allows our players to constantly work with coaches to refine their skills and strengths in an environment unlike any other.

All programming is data-backed and tracked to assess continued growth and player-specific needs. Athletic training is based on biomechanics, movement assessments, strength reports via proteus and the use of force plates. Athletes also have access to in-house recovery and injury management to ensure their longevity and continued growth.

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE “TRADITIONAL” MODEL

The way we play the game has changed – the way we train should too. ATHX Baseball Academy’s innovative approach ensures athletes stay at the top of their game while they prepare for the next steps in their baseball career.

The ATHX Baseball Academy program is the only fully integrated development program in the Edmonton area, providing our athletes with baseball skill development, comprehensive strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition support and mental skills coaching.

The Academy prepares athletes for college baseball mentally and physically. Competing with some of the top baseball programs in western Canada; the Academy also travels to The United States to provide players the best opportunity to showcase their ability.

The ATHX Baseball Academy calls RE/MAX Field home. In the heart of the River Valley, RE/MAX Field used to be the home of the Oakland A’s and California Angels Minor League Affiliates. It is also home to our partners The Edmonton Riverhawks, and Edmonton Colligate Hawks. RE/MAX Field has been newly renovated, with a brand-new turf infield and video board in left field.
