WHY I CREATED VIRTUAL PITCHING ACADEMY.

VPA was created for two reasons:
My pitchers needed solid instruction to train well on their own, outside of their lesson. There are also thousands of girls and boys out there with raw potential that can't afford a private coach.


If you already attend private lessons but want to train and condition effectively on your own, or are looking for personal instruction at an affordable price, VPA is for you.
