THE ACADEMY

ALBERTA COLLEGIATE BASEBALL FOUNDATION - PROSPECTS ACADEMY

Over the past decade, the Alberta Collegiate Baseball Foundation (ACBF) has endeavored to provide quality baseball and athletic development training in conjunction with some of the region's finest training facilities.

For those athletes who have participated in ACBF programs over the years, the results speak for themselves. The ACBF has placed over 50 players into US and/or Canadian colleges with many receiving considerable scholarship funding. Two players are currently playing for MLB organizations at the minor league level.

The Foundation has always had a strong belief that with proper year-round training and competition, Canadian athletes would be drafted in higher numbers and higher rounds, and would be offered more financial assistance from colleges as they follow their athletic dreams and aspirations.
