MGBA Baseball Academy in Aiken County SC
Mind Game Baseball Academy serves every community in Aiken County — Aiken, Graniteville, Bath, Belvedere, Wagener, Jackson, and North Augusta — with individual lessons, Saturday camps, the 2027 community league, and a developmental travel team.
Coaches work from Citizens Park, Gregg Park, Gardner-Key Park, and fields across the county. Players are matched by city so families are not driving to Augusta for development.
Every MGBA coach is background-checked and vetted by Academy Director Kenny Flermoen. Book online at mindgamebaseball.com.

Preparing for Aiken County High School Baseball
Aiken County SCHSL Region 5 baseball includes South Aiken Thoroughbreds, Aiken Tornadoes, Midland Valley Mustangs, Langley-Bath-Clearwater Gators, and Silver Bluff Bulldogs — plus North Augusta Yellow Jackets at the county's eastern edge.
Competition for roster spots is real across all five programs. MGBA works with players from 8U through 18U on the fundamentals, baseball IQ, and coachability that Region 5 coaches evaluate at tryouts.
Development starts before ninth grade. Players who arrive at South Aiken, Aiken HS, or Midland Valley tryouts with mechanics already in place have a measurable advantage.
