ABOUT US
The Northwest Baseball Institute "NWBI" was formed by leading area coaches and management teams to help baseball players of all ages safely develop to their fullest potential.
"NWBI" regards each player as the "Most Valuable Player" in each of our programs and realizes their dedication and hard work deserves special recognition. As baseball teachers, we understand how challenging baseball skills can be to master. We value the idea that baseball games are played principally for enjoyment. Players are provided ample opportunity to learn and develop their individual fundamental skills in a friendly and controlled atmosphere designed to be constructive and encouraging. Key elements in our program include a disciplined environment, qualified instructors, cooperative learning and an ethic of hard work. Overall, NWBI's main objective is to offer the very best in baseball instructional training.
Who are the NWBI Instructors?
All of our instructors arrived at NWBI with two common traits; outstanding communication skills and a strong, addictive, affection for baseball. Having played or coached at higher levels is secondary to learning how to teach and present a training curriculum recognized as the best in our baseball community. More relevant than their playing backgrounds, the training and orientation period since arriving at NWBI has grown exponentially.
Starting with our instructional curriculum and hours of video review, our instructor training starts in the classroom and finishes in the hitting tunnels and on the pitching mounds. Training topics include pitching, hitting, fielding, catching and baseball specific conditioning programs. Staff meetings present new drills, individual case studies and a video review of past lessons. Thank you for visiting NWBI.
