The Edmonton Expos Off-Season Academy is the official development program for athletes committed to reaching the next level. Our academy provides a structured progression from fall evaluation through winter training, preparing athletes for the 2027 season and beyond.

Whether your goal is to make an Expos roster, earn more playing time, or compete at the collegiate level, this academy provides the instruction, accountability, and environment to help you get there.

Development never takes the offseason off.

The Zone 6 Development Pathway

The Edmonton Expos exists to provide a clear pathway for baseball players in Zone 6.

Our player development model focuses on:

• Building fundamentally sound baseball players
• Developing strong character and leadership
• Preparing athletes to compete at the highest levels available to them
• Creating consistency in coaching, expectations, and player development across all age groups
• Helping athletes pursue opportunities at the collegiate and high-performance levels

The Off-Season Academy is where that development happens.
