WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

  • With a nasty knuckleball in your repertoire, you can make it to the next level of your career and beyond.
  • You don’t have to throw 90-plus miles per hour to consistently dominate hitters. Mastering the knuckleball is all about practice and deep focus.
  • Mastering the knuckleball can give you a longevity that conventional pitchers only dream of. Phil Niekro pitched for 23 seasons, Charlie Hough for 24.
  • You don’t even have to start out as a pitcher. Tim Wakefield was a first baseman in the minors. Charlie Hough grew up dreaming of a career as a Major League third baseman.
  • The International Knuckleball Academy is the first and only baseball training academy devoted specifically to developing knuckleball pitchers.
  • The IKA will give you the training you need to make your knuckleball a professional-quality pitch.
  • After completing our two-week Development Session, you may qualify for a scholarship in our Year-long Program. Once you join the Year-long Program, the IKA will go all out to foster your continued development as a knuckleball pitcher.
