San Francisco Baseball Academy is thought to be the best baseball school in the area. They teach people from a variety of age groups, from young kids up to elderly people. The objective of the academy is to assist people who want to become high level sports professionals. They also work with teams and give advice to various leagues.

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 Cell is one of the coaching staff. He is passionate about the sport and wants it to be popular in the city. For a few years he was the University Of San Francisco's assistant coach and Director of Baseball Operations before that. Back in 2005, he was awarded a Master Of Arts degree in Sports Management.

All classes last for 60 minutes. Children are taught specific baseball skills and they play in mini games to practice those skills. The great thing about the game is that technical skill matters more than physical size. Also, it's not a contact sport like football. This means that anyone can get involved and learn. It can also serve as a useful introduction to playing team sports.

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.
