Steve

Seven weeks ago I was high 60s to low 70s..currently I am mid 70s..with a high of 77 during my last outing. I am seeing results.

Matthew

I have never seen a better return on a baseball investment. My results: My son is currently 11u throws consistently 57-58, about 3 weeks working with James and his program we are currently at 63-64.

Johnny

James from VPA gave us a Video Lesson and told us what exercises and drills we should focus on. He went from throwing 59 to 63 in two weeks. This is much better than the typical 'Velocity Building Program' as it gets true results in metrics.

WHY I CREATED VIRTUAL PITCHING ACADEMY.

VPA was created for two reasons:
My pitchers needed solid instruction to train well on their own, outside of their lesson. There are also thousands of girls and boys out there with raw potential that can't afford a private coach.

If you already attend private lessons but want to train and condition effectively on your own, or are looking for personal instruction at an affordable price, VPA is for you.
