“I want to welcome you to the Future Prospects Baseball and thank you for your participation in what I fully expect to be the best baseball experience you’ll ever have."
Charles Scott, Founder and Owner of Future Prospects Instructional Baseball
So much is said about young athletes and how best to teach them to maximize their potential, but my approach with the Future Prospects program is not only to teach the game I love but also to provide our players with a supportive environment where their skills and maturity can develop. As much as we may want to believe that young players need to be readied for potential major league careers, we at Future Prospects remain cognizant that these players are still kids and should have fun while learning the lessons we can teach.
I began Future Prospects over 18 years ago and have seen the program grow beyond my expectations because of some very simple rules I follow: we greatly care about every player in our program and give personal attention to their individual needs and development; we create a positive and encouraging environment for the players to realize their potential as ballplayers and as responsible young people; we provide reasonable challenges to advance players’ growth and development.
