What Makes MGBA a Real Baseball Academy
A real baseball academy vets every coach individually, runs background checks, assigns development purpose to every session, and operates from a written philosophy — not whoever is available at a cage rental.
MGBA coaches are reviewed by Academy Director Kenny Flermoen before they accept bookings. Development First means mechanics, character, and accountability — the same pillars described on our About page.
Players book online, pay upfront, and get matched with coaches who work from local fields in their community. That is academy-level standards without the facility markup.

MGBA Academy Programs in North Augusta SC
Mind Game Baseball Academy runs four programs from North Augusta: individual lessons with vetted coaches, Saturday development camps, the 2027 CSRA community league, and a developmental travel team for 12U and 14U players.
Lessons are 30, 45, or 60 minutes — booked online with coaches who work from Riverview Park, Jacket Park, and fields across the city. Camps are age-grouped with position-specific stations. The league puts your city name on the jersey. The travel team caps at 10 tournaments per year with practice-first scheduling.
Every program shares the same professional standards: background-checked coaches, development purpose, and accountability to the Academy Director.

- Saturday development camps — 8U through 18U
- 2027 CSRA community league — register interest free

The Academy Director — Kenny Flermoen
Kenny Flermoen founded and directs Mind Game Baseball Academy. He brings 21+ years of coaching experience from tee-ball through Division I athletics and holds a Master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University-Irvine.
Every MGBA coach is evaluated by Kenny on baseball knowledge, teaching ability, and fit with the academy's Development First philosophy before they are approved to accept bookings.
The academy is based in North Augusta because that is where Kenny lives and coaches — not because a facility lease required a location. MGBA coaches work from fields across the CSRA.
