About XLB Training

We built XLB to give kids
more than baseball.

When we started XLB in 2015, the goal was simple. Give the young athletes in our community the kind of professional-level resources that used to be reserved for the highest levels of the game. Real coaching. Real development. A real plan.

But the game was always about more than the game. Baseball teaches things that last long after a player's last at-bat: how to work, how to handle failure, how to show up for a team. We use the sport to build better players, and better people. That mission hasn't changed since day one, and it never will.

Our Approach

Development with a direction.

Too many kids train without a plan. A lesson here, a camp there, no system tying it together. We do it differently. Every player at XLB is evaluated, placed where they actually are, and developed on a pathway built to move them forward over time.

It's professional-level development, made for youth athletes, and it's how we've built players in Palm Beach County for over a decade.

The Facility

A room built
for one thing.

Our facility on Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach was built for development, not for filling time. Indoor turf, full cages, and a pitching lane, with Rapsodo and Blast Motion on site so what we tell you about your player is measured, not guessed.

Families train with us from Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Lantana.

The People

Coaches who've been where your player wants to go.

Ryan Lamb
Founder

Ryan founded XLB in 2015 with a simple belief: the players in his community deserved a place to get better, compete, and learn that hard work pays off, on the field and off it. A Florida State University Sport Management graduate with more than 15 years in youth baseball player development, he built XLB to be the kind of environment every family in Palm Beach County could trust. Safe, competitive, and built to develop the whole player, not just the swing.

The Proof

Ten years. Thousands of players. One standard.

10+ years developing players in Palm Beach County

Thousands of players trained since 2015

College-level talent developed through the XLB pathway

The numbers matter, but the families matter more. For over ten years, parents across Palm Beach County have trusted us with their players' development. That trust is the thing we protect hardest.

That standard does not stop at the end of high school. XLB owns and operates two collegiate baseball clubs in Boynton Beach, which means the staff coaching a twelve year old here is the same staff fielding a college roster every summer. We are not guessing at what the next level asks for.
