Join the tradition
The Traction Canes Baseball Academy is designed to develop youth players at the competitive level - AA, AAA and Major. Each player in our program is evaluated and placed at the best level of play for their development. It is our mission to develop young ballplayers of all skill levels and we are excited to provide the best resources in the business to achieve these goals.
At their home, Traction Sports Performance in Baton Rouge, our Canes players receive elite instruction and coaching all while being in the best facility in the south. Our players have access to twelve multi-purpose fields, indoor and outdoor/covered cages throughout the season as well as an indoor training facility to continue their off-season strength and conditioning programs.
The canes difference
work hard
Traction Canes players are known for being the hardest workers in the area! We set up our teams for success by offering off-season strength and conditioning programs, offensive and defensive clinics, and throwing programs. During the season, players can expect to be at Traction Sports Performance for practices two times a week. Our practices are programmed to be efficient, challenging and instructional.
play hard
Although we maintain a winning tradition, we know that another important aspect of playing baseball is having fun. Often called a “second family," our players, coaches and families create a special bond during their time within the Traction Canes program. Teams enjoy plenty of time together playing in various tournaments across the southeast.
