Sports Academy Offers After-School Program, Birthday Parties

4D Sports Baseball Academy, a facility that trains high school, college, and professional baseball players, now offers an after-school baseball program, as well as sports birthday parties tailored to your child's sporting interests.

4D Sports Baseball Academy—the four Ds being dedication, determination, desire, and discipline—opened its Mahopac indoor sports facility for professional and amateur baseball instruction in December. The facility’s main focus is training high school, college, and professional players, but it now offers an after-school program for 6- to 11-year-olds and birthday parties.

The after-school baseball program focuses on developing athleticism and strength. “Our motto is building character through athletics,” says Anthony Yacco, owner. “We understand that there is a need for youth development, so we are really trying to promote the after-school program.”

Children who participate in the elite athletic training receive personal care with a lab that is only available at 4D Sports. The lab uses technology that analyzes the athlete’s strength and weaknesses and identifies red flags for injury prevention. The facility also employs a staff of doctors and physical therapists.

4D birthday parties are based on the birthday boy or girl’s interests with activities such as kickball, flag football, or soccer. Birthday parties, for a maximum of 30 kids, include the use of the full facility and sports equipment and can last up to 2 hours including 30 minutes for food and cake.
