Built on the Field.
Grown on the Farm.

DDLA Sports Farm brings together elite baseball development, hands-on farm learning, and home school support for athletes ages 7–18 — building skills, confidence, and discipline on and off the field.

The DDLA Standard

Building Athletes. Building Character.

Every program at DDLA is built on four pillars that develop the whole athlete — and the whole person.

Discipline

We train both the body and the mind to perform at the highest level — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.

Development

We develop skills that create success on the field and in life, with strong fundamentals at every age.

Leadership

We build leaders who inspire others through character, integrity, and example.

Agricultural Education

We connect athletes with nature, responsibility, and hands-on learning through agriculture.

Our Programs

One Property. Four Ways to Grow.

From home plate to the pasture to the classroom — every program builds skill, confidence, and discipline.

The people who stand on high and firm ground today first had their feet submerged in low and muddy places.

At DDLA Sports Farm, we believe in the process. Every step, every setback, and every challenge is shaping you for something greater.

Private Training with Pro Trainers & MLB Players

Get one-on-one time with Coach Luis and guest professional trainers — in the same cages and fields where Major League players train when they're in town. Hitting, catching, fielding, and mechanics, built entirely around your athlete.

Limited slots each week to keep every session truly one-on-one.

Beyond the Ballfield

Agriculture, Farm & Fishing

DDLA is a lot more than batting cages. Athletes care for horses, feed animals, and fish the property's ponds — learning real responsibility that no gym can teach.

Horsemanship, animal care, and fishing are built into the weekly rhythm — part of both the summer camp and the homeschool program.

About DDLA

Sports, Education & Community — Together

Founded by former professional catcher Luis Arzeno (Philadelphia Phillies organization), DDLA Sports Farm is a space where young athletes build strong fundamentals, confidence, and discipline — and where the farm teaches what no ballfield can: responsibility, patience, and real work.

From batting cages and game fields to horses, ponds, and classrooms — it all lives on one property in Holopaw, Florida.

Pro Standard

Featured Professional MLB Players

When they're in town, professional Major League players train at DDLA camp — your athlete develops on the same fields the pros use.
