Meet your coach
Coach EJ
Coach EJ built TOA Athletics around a simple idea: young athletes get better fastest when they can see their own progress. Every session is hands-on, every swing is on video, and every player leaves knowing exactly what to work on next.
Training happens in the cage and on the field in Surprise, Arizona, with baseball and softball players from youth leagues through high school and college development.

How it works
Here's what you get when you work with us

Coach EJ maps out what to fix first and the drills that will get you there.

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Who do you train?
Baseball and softball players from youth leagues through high school and college development. We coach hitting, fielding, catching, and the mental side of the game.
What happens at the first session?
An evaluation. We watch your athlete hit, field, and throw, film it, and take baseline numbers. You leave with a plan for what to work on first.
What should my athlete bring?
Bat, glove, helmet, and water. Catchers should bring their gear.
How does the player portal work?
After each session we upload the swing videos as private (unlisted) YouTube links and add the numbers. Your athlete logs in, picks the workout day and the swing, and watches it back with the stats on the side. The videos aren't listed anywhere public, and the links only appear after login.
What is Rapsodo?
A launch monitor that measures every batted ball: exit velocity, launch angle, distance, direction, and spin. It turns "that felt good" into numbers you can track week to week.
Where are you located, and when are you open?
26024 N 155th Ave, Surprise, AZ 85387. We train Monday through Friday 3–9 PM and Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, and we're closed Sunday.
