Baseball Program
Ottawa Baseball Performance Group® is an Ottawa-based baseball partnership with 20+ years’ experience, and a proven track record for developing organizations, programs, and athletes. OBPG are market disrupters who introduced new training and development standards for youth baseball including the first competitive rep teams below 14U (St. Anthony Baseball Academy) and the largest and most comprehensive youth baseball camps (Jr. Ravens) in the city, hosting over 400 players per year.

This integrated approach ensures that our players receive comprehensive and personalized guidance, allowing them to reach their full potential in the sport.

The lasting impacts of Baseball
Sasha D.
My son spent 1-2 hours a week with Ottawa Baseball Performance Group® where he was both taught as well as challenged in all aspects of the game, hitting, fielding, throwing, mechanics and both general and baseball specific training and conditioning. My son liked Andre because he was obviously knowledgeable, fun as well as tough at the same time. When having one on one sessions he always looked forward to the various drills that Andre would prepare for him.
