ABOUT US​
Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization that expands access and opportunity for underrepresented youth across the Greater Pittsburgh region. While baseball and softball serve as powerful engagement tools, our core work is educational and developmental.
Through a comprehensive, year-round model, we integrate academic enrichment, mentorship, leadership development, and career readiness to help young people build academic accountability, confidence, and clear pathways to postsecondary success.
​
WHAT WE DO
We provide affordable and accessible baseball and softball programming for youth including year-round travel teams, clinics, and community training opportunities designed to engage youth, reduce barriers to participation, and foster consistent involvement.
Embedded within this model is FOCUS—Facilitating Opportunities for College and Universal Success, our comprehensive out-of-school time program that anchors academic enrichment, mentorship, leadership development, and postsecondary exposure.
Through FOCUS, student-athletes participate in structured academic check-ins, individualized goal-setting, leadership development, and college and career exploration. This integrated approach ensures that young people are supported not only as athletes, but as students and future professionals prepared for success beyond sport.
