Their dedication is evident in every aspect of their coaching, drills and practice sessions. Special shoutout to Coach Mike, Coach Greg, Coach Daniel, Coach Wyatt and Coach Noah for helping my son's game and improving his confidence. What's more, the trainers at DSA aren't just focused on developing physical skills. They also emphasize the importance of mental toughness and sportsmanship, instilling values that extend far beyond the diamond. I appreciate their positive, remember-these-kids-are-kids approach to coaching, unlike others in the area. Whether you're looking to improve your hitting, fielding, pitching, or all of the above, you won't find a better place to hone your skills than DSA. It's the best baseball training facility in town

Oh, if you were a fan of little league baseball and its oh-so-charming ego-centric coaches who just…read morecouldn't bear the thought of their precious offspring sitting on the bench, then boy, oh boy, are you in for a treat with DSA Travel Ball! It's the one and only "Daddy-ball Sports Academy," where parents willingly sacrifice countless hours watching their own kids inexplicably sidelined while the coach's favorites dominate the lineup time and time again. But wait, there's more! When you sign up for DSA, you'll be granted an exclusive, world-renowned experience: - Your child will have the esteemed privilege of choosing their spot on the dugout bench, where they can marvel at the coach's child playing in every single inning. - Brace yourself for a delightful variety of utterly baffling practice locations and last-minute notifications of changes, because who needs consistency, right? - Prepare to be amazed by the less-than-professional coaching "staff" who graciously attribute their shortcomings to their self-proclaimed status as mere "volunteers" leading the team. - Oh, and let's not forget the heartwarming bonding moments between teammates, complete with a delightful sprinkle of unchecked racial and homophobic slurs cleverly disguised as "just jokes." - Don't you dare miss a single practice if you want your child to earn the privilege of playing in those highly anticipated games! Well, unless, of course, you happen to be the coach's kid or the offspring of a helicopter parent who has mastered being a loud-mouthed Karen, because rules don't apply to them, obviously. - And finally, instead of receiving constructive feedback from the "staff" on how to improve skills and enhance sportsmanship, your child will get to bask in the pure wonderment and mystery of their own imagination. Who needs guidance when you have imagination, right? So, there you have it. DSA, where dreams come true, sarcasm runs rampant, and your child's sports experience is guaranteed to be nothing short of extraordinary. Enjoy!

My child attends the Early Engineer class during their school's after school time and she really…read morelikes it. This is her 3rd year taking the class and it is the only class she actually wants to participate in after school even though there are many other fun and educational offerings at her school (from Dream Enrichment Classes as well as other vendors/providers). This year has been her favorite b/c she really likes her teacher Ms. Tina. She says there's much more freedom to interact with other students and the noise level/interactivity isn't as much a concern with this teacher as previous ones so then the kids are more free to really get into their various weekly projects. Even though my daughter isn't especially into science/engineering/other STEM subject matters, she loves EE. She says it's just so fun and interesting. I'm glad for this program at her school and hope it continues. She enjoys it so much and the pictures they take show how much all the kids learn through all the weekly challenging projects. It is not cheap, per se, but for less than $400 for a whole school year's worth of classes, averaging out to less than $20 per class, my husband and I feel it's a good investment of time and money for our little one. We're glad she likes EE and hope she'll continue to grow in knowledge and understanding of STEM through this and other similar enrichment classes, even if she doesn't enter into a STEM career path, we still want her to be enriched through these experiences.

It felt crowded and loud and there didn't seem to be much instruction or activities planned - kids played with some Lego, made a few things out of cardboard.

We have one more (stop motion animation) so will see. I doubt I would sign up for them again next year.

Thank you to Y&G for providing one of the best experiences of my life…read more All year, you train to emulate a fully functional state government for five days in Sacramento. Delegates use REAL Capital court rooms and board rooms. They dress and play the part of senators, congresspeople, governor, lt. governor, NIA, judges, education board, reporters, lobbyists, and so forth. They receive coaching from people who have careers in media and politics and speech as well. It's amazing. I'm glad I found Y&G at the point of my life that I did. I was coming out of a dark time and Y&G filled a void that the rest of everything going on in my life couldn't. I was a reporter my first year and a lobbyist my second. Some funny things I have done in my time with Y&G - invited a senator to a fancy luncheon as a lobbyist, use someone's argument against them in an article I wrote, scoffed at an abrasive interview by an unfavorable reporter given to my good friend as candidate for governor, gotten in intense arguments on the floor with my opposing PAC trying to persuade a senate committee. It's intense. This program is constantly evolving. They now have political parties delegates can subscribe to. Those at Y&G are doing a great job enhancing the experience of delegates. I am in no way rich. Y&G was an expensive experience - $900 (much more for delegates who pay for more expensive transportation to Camp Roberts and Sacramento). But the board gave me a hefty scholarship both years which allowed me to afford my way to Sacramento. In the amount of time I spent at Y&G I learned so many skills. Public speaking, networking, people skills, and how to research and construct a very persuasive dialogue. The people I met have a great effect on my life. If you have a teen entering high school, run to the nearest YMCA and sign them up for Y&G as soon as they are eligible. If you have a child in middle school, run to the nearest YMCA to sign them up for Model United Nations. MUN people go on to do Y&G and I wish I had discovered these great programs sooner.
