Improve Your Game At The San Francisco Baseball Academy

By Marsha Klein


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.

The academy prides itself on nurturing peoples' love for the game. Not only do they offer coaching but you can hold your birthday party there or just hang out and have a good time. The atmosphere is very supportive and friendly, so people need not be nervous about signing up for a class.

Michael Aicardi is the school's founder. He began with just a single client but has built it up. Now he has literally hundreds. His vision was to bring baseball back to the city and growing the academy is one a way of achieving that. There are now three coaches working within a state-of-the-art indoor training facility.

Joe Della Cella is a popular teacher at the school. He is very passionate about the sport and cares about how popular it is in the city. For a few years he was the assistant coach at the University Of San Francisco and before that he was Director Of Baseball Operations. He also holds a Master Of The Arts degree.

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.

Some students are as young as three years old. Their lessons tend to take place during the earlier part of the day and they are taught about the game's fundamentals. This typically means holding a bat and swinging it, running to each base and throwing. The focus is on working as a team, as well as good manners and sportsmanship.

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 teach lessons to Major League students also. They are able to enroll on eight classes per week for eight weeks. Individual lessons last for about an hour. Students are able to go on any day between Monday and Friday. The lessons are scheduled for the same day every week. On completion of the course, it's very common for students to choose to join up for more. If students would like to enroll on more than one class a week, then they can do so.
