All-Sports Camp for active kids who want to compete and play. Skills Lab for serious baseball & softball players who want focused training. Both ages 8–12.
Bobby Valentine is a 2x MLB Manager of the Year, a World Series finalist, and the only American to manage in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball — winning the Japan Series with Chiba Lotte. He played for the Dodgers, Angels, and Mariners. He coached the U.S. Olympic baseball team. He built BVSA in 2006 to bring big-league coaching standards to youth athletes in his hometown.
Every BVSA coach is personally trained in Bobby’s philosophy. Summer at BVSA is what Bobby wishes he had as a kid — competitive, fun, and run by people who actually know how to coach.
Multi-sport games and competition, or focused baseball & softball training. Some families do both.
Each week is a self-contained 5-day camp. Mix and match — sign up for one, two, or all four.
Each week is capped at 20 campers for a 1:5 coach ratio. You’ll pick weeks on the EZFacility form. Sign up for one, two, or all four.
No screens. No standing around. Three hours of moving, learning, and laughing.
Dynamic warm-ups led by BVSA coaches, then a focused skill block — throwing, catching, footwork, agility. Real instruction from coaches Bobby Valentine personally trained, not just supervision.
Rotating mix of kickball, wiffle ball, dodgeball, gaga ball, relay races, and obstacle courses. Full games — kids play, score, and compete with friends.
BVSA-style team challenges where campers earn points all week and compete for the Friday trophy. Coaches focus on teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun.
Every Friday we wrap up the week with Tie-Dye Friday — campers create their own colorful BVSA tie-dye shirt to take home. Always a favorite way to end the week.
Each day our coaches organize teams and rotate campers through a mix of classic playground favorites and BVSA-style challenges.
The undisputed king of camp — full innings, big swings, big plays.
BVSA-style on the turf. Easy on the arm, hard on the scoreboard.
Strategy, teamwork, and fast feet. The game kids beg to play again.
The pit game where reflexes win. Daily tournaments, daily new champs.
Speed, handoffs, baton work — pure team competition.
Climb, crawl, sprint, balance. New course design every week.
Small-group training built around fundamentals, mechanics, and reps. Pick your sport — baseball or softball — and pick your week. Six weeks, 2 hours a day, 10am–12pm.
Skills Lab caps each week at 12 athletes per sport (6 in Week 1) so coaches can give individual feedback. Pick your sport and your weeks on the EZFacility form. Friday tie-dye included.
A 40,000 sq ft training facility built by a 2x World Series manager — not a school gym.
Bobby Valentine founded BVSA in 2006 after 30+ years managing in MLB, Japan, and the Olympics. Every coach we hire is held to that standard.
Full indoor turf field, batting cages, bullpens, climate-controlled. Rain doesn’t cancel camp — we just move inside.
Small groups, real attention. Every kid gets coached — not just watched. Our staff knows every camper’s name by Day 2.
No. Game On! is built for any active kid 8–12 — beginner to travel-team level. We split groups by skill and energy so every camper plays at the right level. If your child has never picked up a glove, they’ll fit right in. If they play travel baseball, they’ll be challenged.
Sneakers, a refillable water bottle, a snack, and sunscreen if we’re heading outside. We provide all the gear, the field, and the Friday tie-dye shirt. Lunch is not provided — pack it or pick up from EB222 Cafe on-site.
Both. We use the 40,000 sq ft indoor facility plus outdoor space when weather is good. Heat days, rain days, thunderstorms — we move inside and the camp keeps going. BVSA never cancels for weather.
Yes. Each week is independent and self-contained. Mix and match across kids, friends, and schedules — sign each camper up for the weeks that work for your family.
Full refund if cancelled 14+ days before camp starts. 50% refund 7–14 days out. Inside 7 days we’ll do our best to swap you to another week. Email info@bvacademy.com.
Bobby drops in throughout the summer — but the camp runs daily under our full-time BVSA coaching staff that he personally trained. Every kid gets the BVSA standard, every day.
All-Sports Camp: capped at 20 campers/week for a 1:5 coach ratio. Skills Lab: 12 athletes per sport per week (6 in Week 1) so coaches can give individual feedback.
All-Sports Camp ($500/wk, 3 hrs/day): multi-sport games and competition — kickball, dodgeball, gaga ball, wiffle ball, daily team challenges, Friday tournament. For kids who want to play hard and have fun. Skills Lab ($550/wk, 2 hrs/day): small-group baseball or softball training focused on hitting, fielding, throwing, and base running. For serious players building fundamentals. Some families do both.
Yes — Skills Lab runs 10am–12pm and the All-Sports Camp 12pm–3pm window starts right after. Pack a lunch, do both. We see families pair them all summer.
4 Largo Drive, Stamford, CT 06907. Easy access from I-95 and the Merritt Parkway, ~5 minutes from downtown Stamford. Drop-off and pick-up are at the main entrance.
Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, New Canaan, Darien, and Westport families have trusted Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy for two decades. The BVSA All-Sports Camp and Skills Lab run inside the only 40,000 sq ft pro training facility in Fairfield County — with indoor turf, batting cages, bullpens, and an on-site cafe. Whether your camper is a future All-Star, a multi-sport athlete, or just a kid who needs to be active and away from screens for a few weeks this summer, BVSA delivers.
Our staff has worked with thousands of youth athletes from across Connecticut and Westchester County. Many of our summer campers come back year after year — not because their parents make them, but because they want to.
Two programs. Limited spots. Pick your program, pick your weeks.
