Junior Academy sessions are led by Washington Rush coach Dan Somoza. Space is limited to ensure a strong coach-to-player ratio and personalized instruction.
All players receive a Junior Academy shirt and hat at no cost upon joining the program.
Our Junior Academy is designed to maximize player development in a fun, positive environment. Players learn the fundamentals of baseball through game-like situations, skill-building activities, and engaging instruction.
Weekly training sessions follow an age-appropriate, youth-focused curriculum built on a “play–practice–play” model. Sessions prioritize fun, engagement, and confidence-building while developing a love for the game.
Players will learn key baseball fundamentals—including throwing, fielding, hitting, and base running—through games, small-sided activities, and positive coaching. We also emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, and enjoying the process of getting better.
There are no tryouts. All players are placed on a Junior Academy team based on age and skill level. Initial practice teams are formed before the first session, with adjustments made if needed after evaluations.
All teams are coached by the Rush Coaching Staff, led by head trainer Dan Somoza.
