Get Your Kids Started In Team Sports 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 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 Cella is one of the coaches. He cares passionately about the game and it's popularity within the city. From 2006 to 2008 he was assistant coach at the University Of San Francisco and Director Of Baseball Operations prior to that. In 2005, he received 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.

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 also offer courses for Major League students. They take eight classes a week for eight weeks and each one lasts for about an hour. Each course takes place on the same day each week. By the end of the two month period, many students decide to sign-up for more. You are free to join additional classes if you want to do more than one a week. You can pay for eight classes at a time or on a single class basis, it depends on what you can afford.
