Introduction

Inspiration Academy is a unique high school. Founded in 2007, it was created as a Christian college preparatory school for young men with extraordinary baseball talents and the potential to play the sport at the collegiate or professional level.

The academy is located in Prescott, Arizona, on a sprawling 10-acre campus that includes spacious classrooms, a state-of-the-art weight room, an on-site baseball stadium and practice facilities, and comfortable dormitories for its student-athletes.

Prescott is a beautiful city nestled in the Bradshaw Mountains of central Arizona, about 90 minutes from Phoenix. It offers dry, sunny weather year-round, which makes it an ideal location for baseball training and competition.

Inspiration Academy is accredited by AdvancED and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). It is also affiliated with Major League Baseball’s Urban Youth Academy.

What is the difference between Division I, Division II, and Division III?

There are three NCAA baseball divisions: Division I, Division II, and Division III. Each division has its own rules and regulations regarding eligibility and playing seasons.

Division I Baseball
The highest level of collegiate baseball is Division I. This division is made up of the most competitive teams in the country, and the schools in this division typically have the largest budgets and the most resources.

In order to be eligible to play Division I baseball, a student-athlete must meet the NCAA’s academic and amateurism standards. He must also be enrolled full-time at the school he wishes to represent.

The playing season for Division I baseball begins in February and ends in June. During the regular season, each team is allowed to play 56 games. The top 32 teams then advance to the NCAA tournament, which culminates in the College World Series.

Division II Baseball
Division II baseball is a step below Division I in terms of competition level. The schools in this division typically have smaller budgets than those in Division I, and fewer resources overall.

Like student-athletes in Division I, those competing in Division II must meet the NCAA’s academic and amateurism standards as well as being enrolled full-time at their respective schools. They also must complete an annual physical examination.

The playing season for Division II baseball begins in February and ends in May or June. Each team is allowed to play 50 regular season games followed by conference tournaments and postseason play. The top eight teams advance to the NCAA tournament, which culminates in the College World Series.

Division III Baseball
Division III baseball is considered the lowest level of collegiate competition. The schools in this division generally have small budgets and few resources dedicated to their programs.

Student-athletes competing at this level must meet the NCAA’s academic standards but are not required to maintain amateurism or be enrolled full-time at their school; however, they must complete an annual physical examination prior to participating. In addition, each team is only allowed to use 14 scholarships (compared to 11 for Divisions I and II). . . .
