Yard Baseball Club powers Grain Valley pipeline with year-round development, college path
Yard Baseball Club has been building Grain Valley ballplayers since 2011 with a development-first model aimed at helping athletes continue beyond high school [1]. The club is rooted in Grain Valley, operating out of 1460 NW Olympic Dr [8].Programming spans youth levels through a college summer team, with work running year‑round. Training is anchored in two dedicated facilities that support instruction and team sessions [1][2].The staff runs deep—more than 30 coaches are listed, with head coach Chris Curry leading the program since 2021. Coaching bios highlight collegiate playing honors and teaching credentials, including profiles for coaches such as Jimmy Barragan alongside the broader staff roster [3][6][7].Results are central to the mission: every high‑school player who pursued a college roster spot earned one, matching the club’s stated college‑placement focus [1]. Families have built‑in support through player resources, including an online Marucci team store for uniforms and gear [4]. On the field, YBC teams appear on USSSA rolls, including a 10U AA entry, reflecting the club’s steady presence in regional play [9].
