Akadema makes inventive gear based totally on a detailed awareness of the game from playing the game. In less than ten years, we've get to be one of the most up to date baseball and softball gear companies in America for pro, varsity, highschool and significant youth players.

And we are just getting started.

How did it all start? A previous pro baseball player, company founder Lawrence Gilligan recognized that there had been minimal innovation in baseball gloves for years. So he made a decision to be proactive about it. With his bro Joe, Lawrence started Akadema with the point of planning a collection of new cutting edge gloves that would improve a player's performance.

Among Akadema's first discoveries was the revolutionary Reptilian a near fingerless infielder's glove that allows for a faster and smoother ball transfer. A new catcher's mitt featuring stress wedge technology, designed with the help of Hall-Of-Fame catcher Gary Carter, shortly followed. Current large leaguers and baseball legends Ozzie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski have also leant their experience to Akadema.

Leading to the planning of some of the most cutting edge sporting gear on the market. Gear, a big portion being made in the States, that helps sportsmen of every age bring their A Game to the field and achieve a raised level of play. For Akadema, it's simple. If you'd like to make the best sporting gear, you consult the best sportsmen. Akadema is a secretly owned sporting products producing company found in Hawthorne, New Jersey.
