When I was a kid, my glove was a hand me down. My bat was whatever the team had in a size I could…read moreswing. The fields were semi-upkept diamonds at elementary or middle schools. There weren't bleachers or snack bars. We had uniforms, kind of. Games were one day a week and I, honestly, don't remember how I got to practice, but I do remember that by throwing on my cleats and grabbing a glove, I was ready to go. Simi is a little different. Baseball:Simi::Football:Texas. The diamonds here are better than the ones my high school had. Kids bats are $300. Gloves are $100. Uniforms are planned across the league to the point that watching a group of 11-12 YOslooks like Field of Dreams because of the perfectly orchestrated throwbacks chosen. The HOF Baseballs on the chain link are adorned with actual big leaguers. It's a little different and of the leagues in Simi, SSBB is the shining star. The history is richer than the others. Our 11 YO decided to play baseball for the first time this year. That's 50 by Simi youth baseball standards, but if he wanted to, we'll give him everything we can to compete. At try outs, his inexperience was evident to the point that coaches approached him and told him he did great for his first time. Wait, let's focus on that, the coaches approached him and told him he did great for his first time. That's it, we made the right choice in league. The coaches were supportive in a way I wasn't offered as a kid. That hasn't stopped. Simi is a weird town. The people in Simi are... different. Women have little cliques. Men have "Good ol' boys" clubs. It's not exactly a town conduscive to fresh faces. That rule has to be applied across the board and, after you've made peace with that, judge everything based on the rest. That isn't to say anything bad about SSBB in any way. Just the parents can be disinterested in a Simi Valleyian way. The coaches and team mom have been great. I couldn't ask for any more of them. The fields are gorgeous. There's a snack bar... a staffed snack bar... SSBB is a fantastic little league that I will happily support long after our boy has moved onto other ventures.

First and foremost I have been coming to the hitting zone with my son and his teams over the years…read more As an ex baseball player myself I have been in my share of batting cages and the hitting zone does a good job as a full service facility. They have (4) hitting cages (3) baseball and (1) softball along with a training cage for private lessons in addition to an area set up for tee or soft toss work. They also have a pro shop for equipment needs (bats, gloves, cleats, bags and training aids) Glen the owner is himself an ex player who runs it and does a really good job and goes the extra mile to work with you find hard to get or speciality equipment or make arrangements his supporting staff is mostly high school and college kids / players who operate it when Glen is out so service can be hit and miss lol but it's the batting cages no frills not the Ritz Carlton... It's a great addition to the neighborhood and extremely supportive of the kids and youth baseball and softball programs in the community. Thank you Glen keep up the great work...

Our two boys have been coming to Breckley's Bullpen for batting cages and camps for years, and in…read morethe last few months one of our son's started private lessons with Coach Alex. The improvement has been dramatic. Our son who's been doing private lessons has been getting the barrel on the ball consistently, hitting the ball farther, and in just the last month he hit three over-the-fence home runs (a first for him). Josh, the owner, is also genuinely one of the best. He has gone out of his way to accommodate our kids' busy schedules and clearly cares about the families who come through his facility. Excellent coaching, great culture, highly recommend. A long time ago we once went to another baseball facility for a camp and it was not a positive experience (older kids saying things like "youre trash" etc.. with little supervision) and we did not go back. So glad we found Breckley's after that, it's been night and day, we could tell the difference from the first time just by how the other kids acted. If you're looking for somewhere to help kids that love baseball get better I cant reccomend Breckley's enough. They'll learn skills and sportsmanship and will be overseen by someone who really cares about them and about having a place that's a great place for kids to go.

I wish that I could say we had a good experience with StrikeOne this summer. I was hoping these…read moreguys would take care of my son in their travel ball program. This just did not happen. At tryouts Kenny spoke very highly of our son and made us think he would be important in the summer program. In the end we paid over $2000 and our son was used for about 2 innings the entire summer. Thus, we paid over $2000 plus travel costs for about 15 minutes of total playtime. He took thousands and thousands of dollars from several families in this way. So it was even more insulting when we would show up to tournaments and there would be new players that no one had ever seen before, utilizing playtime that we paid for. I should have left when other parents expressed concerns. But then Kenny only responds when his money is on the line, otherwise you're ignored. I thought my son was in good hands. It was a total waste of a huge amount of money. Be careful of this organization. We feel completely taken advantage of.
