Coaches

A BETTER PLACE TO PLAY

Bucks County Baseball Academy was created by Dan Kusters and Steve Marlow in 2002. Both played locally in high school (Archbishop Wood and Council Rock) and were scholarship athletes in college (Villanova and Penn State). The academy teams, The Generals, were created to provide a better place to play competitive baseball. The Generals culture strives to foster mentorship, developmental instruction, and guidance as baseball players, as well as their families, move from the little diamond, transition to the big diamond, prepare for high school, and reach the collegiate and professional levels. While doing this, the coaches and the players of the Generals often talk about character, integrity, respect (for the game, teammates, coaches, parents, umpires, and the opposition), self-discipline, grit, and resiliency.
