⚾ Who We Are
More Than a Travel Team
Established in 2023, Chargers Baseball Academy was built to give San Antonio's youth ballplayers a true development path — not just a roster spot. Our coaching staff focuses on fundamentals, accountability, and competing the right way, with teams from 6U through 18U competing across Texas all year long.
Playing for the Chargers is the best option for cultivating a winning, yet positive attitude both on and off the field.
