BULLDOG ATHLETIC CLUB

Beginning with the 2008 fall season, Tim Bartlett has accepted the postion of Defensive Training Coordinator and Instructor.  Tim has over 29 years of baseball coaching and managing experience from High School to nationally ranked select teams.  

From 2003 to 2007 Tim served as the infield coach for the Kentwood High School Baseball Team during which the team made four consecutive trips to the State High School Playoffs including 2 “Final Four” appearances.   

Tim is well know at the national level as the founder of the Cannons Baseball Club and manager of the 2003 and 2004 Cannons Baseball teams who won the Washington State Championship both years, and in 2004, won the CABA National Championship Tournament in Dublin Ohio.   As a manager, who has actual experience winning state and national baseball championships, Tim is in a unique position to understand what is required to compete at these levels and more than qualified to teach those skills to young players.   

Since 2006, Tim has provided advanced infield training for many of the top youth players in our area through his Gold Glove Infield Camps.  Many of the players, Tim coached, have gone on to play at the college and professional levels.   

For the past two years, the Cannons and Bulldogs have worked together on training and facilities.  Both years, Tim provided infield training for all Bulldog teams and the Cannons utilized the Bulldog indoor training facility for hitting practice during the fall and winter.  This affiliation will continue, at the new Bulldog facility. 

When the new Training Center opens, this September, Tim Bartlett will be available to provide advanced individual and team instruction in all areas of the game with an emphasis on infield skills and hitting.  He will also coordinate and manage infield training camps each quarter.  

The addition of Tim, to lead our defensive training program, is a great step forward toward building the most experienced and successful youth baseball training program in the Puget Sound area.
