Our story · Fresno, 2009

The road to success comes through the avenue of hard work and dedication.

Tommy Lasorda would always say it. That's where the name Team Avenue came from, plus the idea that we work as a team and we're all in this together.

Thomari Story-Harden, remembering where the name came from.

Thomari Story-Harden played first base in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. He started Team Avenue Baseball in Fresno in 2009, through Bob Bennett camps and Central Valley RBI.

Team Avenue Baseball has worked with players and families since 2009. TAP brings that work under one standard: Test, Train, Show.

Five-player clusters

Selected to TAP In.

Small groups of five go through a performance lab day together: standardized testing, a FootSnap scan and a customized training plan, then a retest.

Selection is based on published criteria. Any membership cost is shown clearly before you join; selection never requires a purchase.

See the criteria

Published criteria

  1. A complete application from a parent or guardian (or the player, if 18 or older), with consent.
  2. Grad year and position fit the five-player cluster being formed, so each group trains together well.
  3. Available for both the lab day and the retest date.
  4. Lives within travel distance of the cluster's lab location.
  5. Commits to the training plan between tests.
  6. No sponsor input. Selection is made by the TAP director against these criteria only.
