PERFORMANCE PATHWAYS PROGRAMS…

Introduction

Welcome to the new era of Performance Pathways! The new design aims to enhance player development and representation at state, national, and international levels. As part of this evolution, we are rebranding 'high performance' to create a more inclusive environment that accommodates athletes at various ages of their development.

Under Performance Pathways, multiple 'pathways' will be available to cater to diverse ages that athletes needs to be identified to fit with National Representation sides such as World Cups. Our revamped program will place a stronger emphasis on performance outcomes, supported by advanced technology such as Rapsodo, Blast Motion, Trackman, and other analytical tools. These enhancements will provide players with detailed insights and data to refine their skills and improve their game.

Leading this high-caliber initiative is Baseball SA Performance Pathways Manager, Austin 'Gally' Gallagher. Under his guidance, our team of top-tier coaches will ensure that each athlete receives the best possible training and support to achieve their highest potential.

Join us in this exciting journey as we redefine excellence and create a more inclusive and comprehensive pathway to success in baseball.
