The basic mission of the Dominican Republic Sports & Education Academy (DRSEA) is to provide young, gifted Dominican student
athletes the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals. While providing student athletes with the
opportunity to hone their natural athletic talents amongst some of the world's best young athletes, the
Academy will also prepare them to excel in life, outside the lines and off the playing fields.
The Academy will open its doors as a baseball specific training facility. However, it will be more than a Dominican baseball academy. Through a rigorous educational and athletic component, student athletes will be given the tools to qualify for sports
scholarships at U.S. colleges and universities.
The Academy's growth will also be based on becoming an overall Sports & Education training facility for all athletes in various sports including basketball, tennis, and swimming, to name a few. The Dominican Sports and Education Academy will instill a strong work ethic, passion for the pursuit of excellence and a desire to serve as role models to our youth.
Ultimately, if they can have a career in professional sports such as major league baseball, great, but
playing sports is a short career even in the best of circumstances. Education is something that will last
them a lifetime and help them make an impact on the world around them.
Dominican Baseball Academy
As mentioned above, the DRSEA will initially focus on baseball. The academy will be able to take gifted baseball players and prepare them academically for the college classroom. The academic program will exceed the minimum requirements for college eligibility now required by the NCAA. Students will be encouraged to not only want to succeed in college but to excel.
