History
Headfirst Baseball was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1996 on the philosophy that the playing field can serve as a platform for some of life's greatest lessons. Leadership, teamwork, preparation and maximized effort are a few key principles upon which the Headfirst mentality has been built. Headfirst is currently the largest provider of professional baseball instruction in the D.C. area, offering private lessons, camps, clinics, developmental leagues and travel/select teams -- as well as academic mentoring and tutoring. The Honor Roll Camp was started in 1999 to specifically serve the showcasing needs of the country's top baseball student-athletes and to provide coaches from some of the nation's top colleges a recruiting tool focused specifically on ballplayers with the academic qualifications to be admitted to their schools.

We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with Headfirst. As always your staff did an excellent job of teaching and skill instruction, but more importantly their enthusiasm and love of teaching demonstrated to the children valuable lessons about sportsmanship, proper manners, appropriate behavior and respect for themselves, teammates and opponents. — Summer Camp Parent
