The IMG Baseball Academy's post-graduate program is for the student-athlete looking for an extra year to become more physically, mentally or academically prepared for college. It allows high school graduates an environment to continue their athletic development and provides the academic resources to prepare for college entrance exams and/or take courses for college credit to get a head start on the competition.

Post-grad baseball players will train and compete with other post-grads from around the world in an environment that encourages development as THE TOTAL STUDENT-ATHLETE. Post-grads will receive position-specific instruction from coaches with coaching/playing experience at all levels, including MLB, as well as Physical and Mental Conditioning from IMG Performance Institute specialists to become stronger, faster and more confident on the diamond.

Post-Grad Academics

It's equally as crucial for post-grad student-athletes to continue their academic development while evolving athletically.  Currently, there are two academic options, the IMG Pendleton School, which is located on the IMG campus and the State College of Florida, which is within walking distance.  Enrollment into the IMG Pendleton School will allow you to improve your academic profile and SAT scores, further develop study and writing skills, and take Advanced Placement coursework – which can lead to college credit.  Enrollment in SCF offers you the opportunity to earn college credit and gives you a true taste of college life on a part-time basis.

With a variety of courses available, encouraging instructors and an accommodating schedule, you'll enter college fully prepared academically and athletically.

PERFORMANCE ELECTIVES

THE TOTAL ATHLETE is someone who maximizes his or her full potential across all dimensions of performance. Someone who refuses to sacrifice academics for athletics — or vice versa.

Becoming THE TOTAL ATHLETE, however, takes time and commitment. The earlier a student-athlete enrolls at IMG Academies during his or her prep years, the more time they will have to learn, grow, develop and experience all that IMG Academies has to offer, helping them become confident that they can take on the world during their journey through life.
