About VBA
The Vista Baseball Academy (VBA) (8U-9U) was created to establish strong baseball knowledge and foundation for youth players.
Along with the Taipans travel baseball programs, VBA prioritizes player development and provides an outlet for all young aspiring athletes to obtain the skills needed to be successful at any level of play.
Players learn the baseball basics to develop proper fundamentals for catching, throwing, hitting, base running, and infield and outfield training. VBA’s program accelerates development to offer a path for each player to participate in competitive baseball.
Teams are mentored and coached by former professional players and coaches.

Our Philosophy
Starting as young as age 6, we teach youth baseball players to WIN PRACTICE:
- Be on time
- Play hard
- Give your best effort
- Be a good teammate
You have very little control in the game of baseball, but these four things you can bring to the field every single day!
Led by VBA founder, Adrian Burnside, Taipans athletes are exposed to professional coaching, a high level of competition and repetition of skills that ultimately builds strong baseball players.
