The San Francisco Baseball Academy has been one of the premiere sports schools in the area for the last couple of years. They teach people at every age group, from young kids up to people of retirement age. The school's primary goal is to aid those who have ambitions to become top level athletes. In addition, it provides advice to local leagues and offers coaching to teams.

They school takes pride in encouraging peoples' enthusiasm for the sport. In addition to providing coaching, they also offer birthday parties and you can go there just to have some fun. The environment is extremely relaxed and supportive which means there is no need to feel intimidated about joining classes.

Michael Aicardi originally established the academy. He started off with only one customer but now has well over a hundred. His goal was to make baseball popular in the city and has contributed towards that by increasing the number of students. Three teachers now work in the top quality indoor training facility.

Joe Della Cell is one of the coaching staff. He is passionate about the sport and wants it to be popular in the city. For a few years he was the University Of San Francisco's assistant coach and Director of Baseball Operations before that. Back in 2005, he was awarded a Master Of Arts degree in Sports Management.

All classes are an hour in length. Kids are taught particular baseball skills and they practice by playing little games. It's a terrific sport because technical skills are more important than how big you are. Also, it doesn't require contact in the way football does. As a result, anybody can learn and play the game. It's a very good way of being introduced to team sports as well.

Kids as young as three years old can be signed up. Their lessons are usually early in the day and they are taught the fundamentals of the sport. This can include swinging the bat, running to base and ball throwing. A stress is placed on team play, sportsmanship and the importance of good manners. There is plenty of social interaction in the classes as well.

Most classes focus on the needs of each individual student. The teachers assess whether the student is left or right handed and they try to strengthen their weaker areas. Everyone learns the rules of game. They are all given a hard copy of them which means they can learned at home. It can take many years to fully understand the rules, so it is better to start when young.

San Francisco Baseball Academy also provide lessons for Major League Students. There are eight classes which run for eight weeks, and each one lasts for sixty minutes. Students can go on any week-day. Each lesson is scheduled for the same day of each week. When the the course is complete, a lot of students decide to enrol again. You can pay for one class at a time or for the whole eight classes.
