The return of the Cleburne Eagles also brings the development of a 21u academy select  team for kids.

There are many talented young players who can't play the sport of baseball, simply because the family can't afford it, the Eagles used Carver Park as its home field in the 60's and early 70's

Today that park will be used as the site for free clinics and some other events that will allow the east Cleburne community to participate and interact with the academy.

The 12u Cleburne Railroaders.com academy youth team will expose young talent of all backgrounds to experience the sport of baseball.

A online team store opened in 2016 selling team gear in order to offset scholarship funding for kids who may not be able to afford the cost of participating.

Other academy teams in the Texas Independent Baseball League will also sponsor 12u teams.
