A daytime baseball development program built for homeschool and Personalized Education Program (PEP) athletes. One focused daily session — developing hitting, pitching, defense, arm care, and recovery — coached with the same evidence-based system the pros use.
Your athlete still suits up for their local public high school team.
While their friends sit in a classroom, your athlete puts in real, structured reps during the day — one focused session, then the afternoon and evening free for their high school team, travel ball, and homework.
Hitting, pitching, and defense using Rapsodo, Blast Motion, and video. Movement, mechanics, and measurable progress every day.
Structured throwing, arm care, strength and recovery — green / yellow / red day loading so athletes build without breaking down.
Games count where it matters. Athletes play for their zoned public high school under Florida's homeschool athletic-eligibility law.
The Bullpen isn't replacing your athlete's education or their team. We handle one thing and we do it at the highest level: player development. Families direct the academics; athletes play for their own school.
What we are: daytime training blocks where homeschool and PEP athletes get pro-level baseball development.
What we're not: we don't field a team, we don't award diplomas, and we don't teach academics. That keeps you in control — and keeps your athlete eligible to play for their public high school.
Greg Brown's MLB hitting system — the DuraHit approach — with Rapsodo and Blast Motion feedback every rep.
Master-coach-led velocity and command development, tracked with data and video.
Position work and fielding fundamentals built into the daily session.
Structured throwing and shoulder protocols that keep young arms healthy and durable.
Green / yellow / red day loading so athletes peak for their season instead of burning out.
The Bullpen Daytime Development Program serves middle and high school athletes — grades 6 through 12 — with a focused emphasis on the middle school years as the most critical window for foundational development. Whether your athlete is chasing a college scholarship, working toward a professional career, or simply wants to be trained by the best, this program was built for them.
From the first foundational habits in middle school through a high schooler’s recruiting years, The Bullpen is built to develop athletes at every stage of the journey.
Florida's Personalized Education Program (PEP) gives eligible homeschool families an education savings account — roughly $8,000 a year — and baseball development qualifies as an approved Physical Education expense. Here's the path from scholarship to your first training block.
Apply through Step Up For Students in the EMA portal. When asked for school type, select "Florida Home School" and confirm you intend to use it for FTC-PEP. Applications open around February 1 for the next school year.
Parent / GuardianOnce awarded, accept in EMA and complete your Student Learning Plan (SLP). Your scholarship funds land in an education savings account you control through the portal.
Parent / GuardianEnroll your athlete in a daytime block. Baseball training is an approved Physical Education / sports-lessons expense under PEP, so your ESA can cover the program fee.
Parent + The BullpenPay The Bullpen directly from your ESA once we're listed as an approved provider, or pay out of pocket and submit our itemized receipt to Step Up for reimbursement. Either way, no scholarship funds ever come back to you as cash.
Parent / GuardianBefore the season, file your athlete's intent to participate with their zoned public high school and complete the FHSAA non-traditional-student paperwork (EL forms). Meet the same 2.0 GPA and conduct standards as every rostered player, and your PEP athlete competes for their school. Loop in the school's athletic director early.
Parent + Athletic DirectorOne three-hour session every weekday — hitting, pitching, and defense with arm care and recovery built in. Small groups, individualized data, and a written development plan for every athlete.
