The West Coast Kings were created in 2012 in order to provide aspiring student athletes to receive the proper training in preparation for collegiate and pro baseball.
The West Coast Kings help college players connect with coaches and scouts across the country while leading student athletes down the right path to their next step in baseball.
High school and college athletes need a place to showcase their skills to college coaches and pro scouts, outside their respective seasons. The West Coast Kings were an immediate success with it's players not only having a tremendous first year, but gaining recognition from many D1, D2 and JC programs across the state.
The West Coast Kings were started by former pro players whose focus is on player development rather than simply winning travel and league tournaments.
The staff is compiled of former pro and college players with the goals to simply get players better on and off the field. The West Coast King Staff has a great track record not only as players but as teachers and mentors to athletes all over California and the United States.
