ABOUT US
All American Baseball Center
What began with humble beginnings has grown into something far greater. From five teams to 50, from dirt fields to a state-of-the-art complex, and from year one to year twenty—All American continues to grow, and the focus remains unchanged: delivering a first-class experience rooted in development, integrity, and a genuine commitment to players and their families.
The goal was never just to form teams. The vision was to build something better for the baseball community—bringing training, teams, competition, and opportunity together under one roof. A place where players and families could develop, learn, and create lasting memories while playing America’s game. Because being an All American doesn’t end when the game does. It’s a mindset that lasts a lifetime.
Dan Ninemire
Founder and Owner, All American Baseball Group
Dan Ninemire is the Founder and Owner of the All American Group, a growing organization that includes All American Events, Team All American, All American Baseball Training Centers in Trafford and Erie, UPMC All American Park, All American Softball, and the All American Steelheads.
Dan played a pivotal role in bringing travel baseball to the region and helping shape what the modern tournament and development landscape looks like today.
A former collegiate player and coach, Dan spent significant time in Erie, Pennsylvania, playing at Gannon University and coaching at Mercyhurst College before joining the University of Pittsburgh staff as an assistant coach under Joe Jordano. It was during those years—coaching, recruiting, and seeing the gaps in player development—that the vision for All American was planted.
A Shared Vision for Development
Through years of coaching, recruiting, and evaluation at the collegiate level, Charlie Spano recognized the same gap Dan Ninemire had seen firsthand—talented players reaching the next level without the foundational training and habits required to succeed. Too often, development was rushed, fundamentals were overlooked, and players were left unprepared for the demands ahead.
While many dismissed the idea of building something different in Erie, Dan believed the region deserved access to elite development without forcing families to look elsewhere. When their perspectives aligned, the vision became clear: bring a proven, intentional development model to the area—one built on fundamentals, accountability, and long-term growth—so players could train at a high level close to home.
That shared belief now drives everything within the All American program, shaping a development pathway designed to prepare athletes not just for the next level, but for sustained success beyond it.
Moving Forward. Expanding Opportunity.
Through years of leading and growing the Rochester Seminoles, the program’s leadership shared the same concerns Dan Ninemire and the All American Baseball organization had long recognized—talented athletes with strong potential often lacked access to consistent structure, resources, and a long-term development pathway. Too often, families were forced to piece together training, communication, and support without a unified vision guiding the process.
Rather than settling for the status quo, the Seminoles sought a partnership that aligned with their values and commitment to development. By joining forces with All American Baseball, the program gains access to a proven, intentional model built on fundamentals, accountability, and long-term growth—while preserving the identity and standards that families trust.
This partnership strengthens the experience for players and families in Rochester, providing clearer direction, expanded resources, and a connected regional network designed to support athletes not just for the next season, but for sustained development well beyond it.
Success on the field is the direct result of preparation. It requires hard work, dedication, and most of all, training with the proper instruction.
The purpose of our program is to develop our athletes in complete baseball players.
At the All American Baseball Center, our staff is made up of quality instructors with decades of playing and coaching experience, who know what it takes to achieve success at every level. By continually demonstrating tremendous passion to aid and assist each player in their development throughout their career, we separate ourselves from other programs.
If you have the desire, we’ll provide you with the highest level of instruction in the northwest Pennsylvania region.
