• The Westtown baseball program emphasizes hard work, respect, and teamwork both on and off the field. We strive to be valuable members of the Westtown community and have each player leave a lasting mark on the team and the school.
• Westtown plays its league schedule within the Friends Schools League, as well as out-of-conference games against many other top teams in the Philadelphia and the Tri-State area. The team also competes in the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools end of season state tournament (PAISAA).
• Our coaching philosophy is rooted in modeling; that if we show our players that we care as much as they do and display what we want them to do ourselves, then they will be more likely to invest in the program and work together towards building a successful team. And, this “success” isn’t just defined by wins on the field, but also by how we develop as outstanding members of our community.

How We Train

• Our typical in-season baseball practice starts with an extensive dynamic warm-up, followed by a throwing series with a position-specific focus. We then move on to individual defensive work by position (catchers, infield, and outfield), where players complete their daily fundamental work and new drills introduced by coaches each week. Then, we usually complete some type of team defensive practice. Finally, we conclude with a different type of hitting focus each practice as we strive to prepare the hitters for every scenario we will face in a game.
• In spring, our preseason training includes five weekly practices leading up to spring break, followed by 2-3 practices per week once games commence. During the offseason, our winter baseball program features four weekly sessions: two strength training days with our school's coaches and two baseball-specific practices, utilizing our indoor cage for hitting, pitching, and fielding activities..
• We also do full-team workouts at All-Star Baseball Academy in West Chester on weekends during the winter.

Player-Focused Philosophy
We strive to develop all parts of a player’s game from the beginning. It is important that every player learns every position and competes all over the diamond because they never know what they might be asked to do to help the team both here or at the next level.

• It is our belief that getting to know our players as well as possible on a personal level—both on and off the field—strengthens the relationship we have with them and helps the learning and growing process as they move up each grade. The better connection we have with each individual player, the more likely they are to put their full energy and effort into improving and doing all they can to help the team succeed
