So, I really wanted some private baseball lessons for my kiddos and we checked this place out a few…read moreyears 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.

The quality largely depends on who the instructor happens to be. The private lessons were very helpful albeit very expensive. For the group classes some of the instructors are very good and some don't offer much instruction at all. They don't seem to limit the size of the class so at times there are way too many kids for a single instructor to be effective with. As a result kids just go through the drills with very little to no individual instruction. They seem to struggle with keeping their accounting accurate have had a couple issues with that and it took a lot of time to straighten out some erroneous billing on their part. Overall though they have a good program but it could be better.

Tonight he did the same thing with my kids and nieces and nephews and I heard he went above and beyond for another customer too. Honestly, not only being super on point as an employee for everything that we needed but then to go above and beyond like that is something we don't see in the service world very often and this guy needs to get some big time recognition. We have already made plans for the next time we go back and I really hope it's in a night that he works. Very good memories have been made because of his care and big heart.

But overall the boys enjoyed their time here.

Anyone leaving those kinds of comments must've truly woken up on the wrong side of the bed to be that cruel and unfair. Let me explain why East Bay Sports deserves a five-star review. I've been bringing my son here since he could walk he started in the Little Kickers program and now, at age nine, plays in the soccer team division. We absolutely love indoor soccer, and this facility makes it such a great experience for families. The kids always have a blast, the field is consistently clean and safe, and the entire place has such a welcoming atmosphere. The owner, Chris, deserves special recognition. He's incredibly calm, patient, and professional even when parents get heated during games, coming up to him in his office raising their voices, he never raises his voice or loses his composure. You can tell he genuinely cares about the families and players who come here. This is a family-run establishment and the only indoor soccer facility in the area, which makes it such a valuable part of our community. Beyond soccer, they also offer batting cages (which are a ton of fun!) and host birthday parties that kids love. Whether your child is a toddler just learning to kick a ball or an older kid who's ready for league play, there's a perfect spot for everyone. You don't need to be a pro you just need to want to play, learn, and have fun. With so many classes and programs to choose from, I highly recommend East Bay Sports for any family looking for a positive, active, and inclusive environment.

This review is for Summer Camp run by this facility…read more Parents -- please read this before booking a camp here. This was one of the most unprofessional and disappointing camp experiences we've ever had. My kids attended the baseball camp, and even though they're usually easygoing, they came home after the first day saying the camp was "boring." They said they spent a lot of time just watching TV -- which is not what you expect when you sign up for a sports-focused camp. The biggest red flag came during their planned field trip to Tech Interactive. Kids were there on time (between 8:30-9:00 AM), but none of the coaches had arrived. Parents had to step in, calling the coaches (who didn't respond), and eventually reaching the owner. He showed up eventually at 10:00 AM. Thankfully, the parents didn't leave the kids alone, but this kind of mismanagement caused many of us to be late for work and left everyone extremely frustrated. For a kids program, this level of disorganization is just unacceptable. But the most concerning part was what happened when I and my kids shared their feedback about the camp. Instead of listening or showing any accountability, the owner recorded a video of the kids after I left -- without parent's permission -- and sent it to the teen coaches. Those high school-aged coaches then showed that video to other campers, and our kids were blamed by their peers for "ruining TV time." When one of my sons asked to practice pitching, he was told he cannot, and when the other coach asked why, he responded by saying "Because he ruined it". That's not just poor judgment -- it's inappropriate and damaging. We emailed the owner expressing how wrong this was. He only replied to say that the video shouldn't have been shown to other kids -- but completely ignored the fact that he made and shared the video in the first place. That's a serious violation of privacy and trust. It's fine to have high school helpers, but they need to be properly trained and supervised -- and clearly, they weren't. When the leadership sets such a poor example, it trickles down. We pulled our kids out early and will not return. If you're a parent looking for a safe, respectful, and well-run environment for your child, this is not it. I truly hope this helps another family avoid the experience we had.

Castro Valley hosts this mini golf spot that's an affiliate of the Golfland family and features its two 18-hole ranges perfect for beginners and experts alike. After a few rounds on the green, consider venturing into their arcades to play some good old fashioned video games (Time Crisis and other dual player shooters, Mario Kart and other racing games, and fighting games) and skill games (like skee ball, table air hockey, and claw machines). Be wary, however, for those who have game cards from other Golflands, they're location specific so they won't work here unless you have one from this spot. Starting from the giant parking lot which is just off of a busy street, you'll make your way through the gates and stroll up the long walkway to the front desk where you'll register to get your clubs and balls (you'll get your choice from among a few colors). From there, you'll have your pick of the two courses, one for novices and one for the more adventurous. Make your way through the obstacles and mark your scorecard to determine the winner of bragging rights! We came for a birthday party and logistically, they have the main room amongst the beginner course which is well lit from all the open windows but I believe they have another space near the arcade for those looking for a more enclosed, private gathering. Once the guests arrived, they hosted an orientation and got the members all equipped and ready to go. The youngsters had a lot of fun and can't wait to return! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. You'll interact with them more at the arcades especially if you'll be redeeming prizes with your hard-earned digital tickets. The ticket values on the top tier prizes were pretty large but for frequent visitors or lucky winners, you can get some pretty neat stuff here. The mini prizes definitely reminded me of my times at the arcades when I was a kid, very nostalgic! Overall, Golden Tee Golfland is a well-maintained, family friendly environment conducive to an awesome time outdoors as well as an exhilarating experience soaking up the old school arcade vibe. We accumulated a ton of steps during our visit here and the kids could not stop hitting the greens to get their fluorescently colored balls into the holes. The obstacles are fun - there are water effects and moving doors and bridges. While most of them functioned as expected, there were a few hiccups with some like balls getting stuck or certain doors just not functioning as expected. For wetter seasons, the holes for the balls do end up pooling which makes picking the balls out a bit of an unpleasant endeavor. For being exposed to the outdoors, the place was in pretty good shape, however. It's a bummer that the Golflands don't have a unified system for the game cards as it just incentivizes families to just pick one and stick with it instead of venturing out and exploring the other amazing locations like this one. If you're a local, this is a great place to take a date or the family - it'll tee you up for a good time!
