So, I really wanted some private baseball lessons for my kiddos and we checked this place out a few years back when they were located in Pleasanton. I was impressed, but too far as a solo parent and work/obligations to make it worthwhile for us with the cost.
We were VERY happy with the move to Livermore. I figured since we have our own 55' batting cage in our yard, the Classic membership would be awesome.. get a discount on private lessons and some take home skills to work through via the app...
Well, twins... homeschool PE became anything but baseball in the backyard so we switched to the "Elite" program. Initially was discouraged as the classes were always full and had scheduling issues. However, a year+ later I'm very happy with class availability and the addition of classes when needed.
It's hard to reach anyone by phone at the business number early in the day as they open for classes after 3 pm, but leaving a voice message, email or using text message is pretty responsive... so they ARE there, just not physically in the building.
My boys enjoy the classes and feel they are honing skills and developing new as well. It's great for me as a homeschool parent as someone else is now in charge of "PE".
I do wish there was more space inside so parents could pop in and watch now and then but definitely no room for one parent of each player in a class.. and also, it's less distraction. You will see many parents in cars outside multi-tasking while kiddos are inside. It's a great time to bring your pup and take a walk too!
If you have any ballplayer - baseball or softball, and any age, I encourage you to check this place out at least for the assessment you will get with a video and very valid comments on hitting and pitching to keep whether you continue on or not.
The staff is great and has been easy to work with even as I had billing questions.. it's about the experience first and can work through anything else!
Cost is pricey along with everything else these days, but worth it. For us, changing from Classic to Elite made sense. read more
