Boise Baseball Academy was built on a simple belief: kids in our community deserve great coaching, real development, and strong role models.

After nearly 20 years of playing baseball—from Little League to professional ball—founder Joe Sturges knew he wanted to give back to the game that gave him so much. That opportunity came through coaching local youth baseball, where he saw a clear need for quality player development in Boise.

While coaching 9–11 year-old teams, Joe led multiple championship teams with different players each season. More importantly, he watched young athletes grow in skill, confidence, and love for the game. Parents began asking for individual training—and Boise Baseball Academy was born.

Founded in 2010 as a nonprofit organization, Boise Baseball Academy exists to develop young athletes on and off the field. We teach the fundamentals the right way, while building confidence, discipline, and resilience. Baseball is a game built on failure—and learning how to respond to it prepares kids for life far beyond the diamond.

Whether your athlete’s goal is to improve fundamentals, make the next team, earn a college scholarship, or simply grow in confidence, we are committed to helping them reach their full potential.

We don’t just build better baseball players—we help build better young men.
