Good luck if your door daughter gets arm or knee injuries due to the intensive training schedule…read morecausing adverse effects on a teen's growth plates. A good coach teaches his player how to do an exercise to avoid injury. Instead of teaching my son how to lift weights to avoid injury, Coach Mike Hacker would ridicule my son in front of his peers and yell "that's why you have injuries, because you're doing it wrong." Mike did not show him the "correct" way to lift the weight. There was another instance where my son and one of his peers were spotting each other on some weights. Coach Mike yelled at the other boy to get out of his weight room for talking to my son and told him he won't bother sending my son out of the room because my son is not worth it. There are numerous instances of mental and verbal abuse from Coach Mike on the field as well. None of these instances were constructive but personal. I will not mention them in order to protect my son's identity. We have read about coaches who ridicule and verbally abuse certain players on their team causing the player to quit the sport for good. We never imagined this would be the case with our 13 year old. Our son had played successfully since he was 5 years old and played Majors prior to coming to BPA. We cannot express the sadness we have our son has left the sport because of his experience at BPA. We believe Coach Mike had a personal disliking for our son since he had expected to get a starting pitcher but got a kid with injuries due to growth plates not being fully fused yet. Before coming to BPA we were warned by a previous player about how he also had been verbally abused and ridiculed by Coach Mike, but we didn't believe him. We wish we had. We remember Coach Mike naming other ball clubs in the area and telling us how bad they were, that BPA was the best, even better than playing for the high school he previously taught at. We now believe this was to isolate players from considering playing for any other competing baseball club in the area. Regrettably, we convinced our son to stay longer than he should have because of this. Great leaders motivate young players to succeed by being fair, positive, patient, sincere, concerned and honest. Although Coach Mike knows baseball, these characteristics were nowhere to be found. Parents beware! There are no protections under the law for verbal and mental abuse of your adoloscent in extracarricular sports. Don't take a chance with your child's self esteem and baseball future. There are other baseball clubs in the area that develop young, successful college recruitments.

Four stars because everything on the website directed us to the 50 Natoma address, which was the incorrect address.

Coach Paul has instilled a sense of self confidence and drive to work harder in our daughter. Coach Paul helped her during a knee injur and surgery. He fostered an environment of trust where she was able to come back slowly to now playing at 100%. I highly recommend Coach Paul, he knows how to make the game fun but is able to push the kids to grow and become more skilled. Coach Paul has a high basketball IQ and quickly sees where players need improvement. An awesome experience!!

Danielle worked with her privately an hour twice a week for 6 weeks and the results were a complete 360. Danielle's skill, basketball IQ and teaching ability catapulted Nicole from averaging 1.2 PPG to 8.2 PPG (9.6 in conference) and from 6.4 minutes per game to 20 mpg. She started 6 games this year and is usually the first player off the bench. One game she had 21 pts, 7-of-7 field goals and 6 of 8 free throws. She is now a true impact player at the D1 level. I can't say enough about this program, except that it was well worth the investment. Nicole definitely plans to train again this summer with Danielle.

Coerver foot skills training is the the Real deal,Coerver footskills is the #1 footskills training in the world, there is alot of other's who try to replicate Coerver, but cant. The Training pyramid is unbelievable, it gives you a step by step on how there training pyramid gives your son or daughter the edge.I wish I had this when I was playing soccer, I probably would of been playing pro soccer. If your son or daughter play's Recreational soccer, Select soccer or even Competitive soccer and there our looking to work on there 1st touch and foot-skills, look no further Coerver foot-skills will make it happen.If your Coach or Soccer Club is not giving you the opportunity to be the best you can be, ask him or her if they can have a certified Coerver trainer come out to show them what it's all about. Your Coach will be hooked on Coerver like phonics. If you don't believe me, type in Coerver on your internet service and watch the Introduction to Coerver and you will see what they our teaching these kids all over the World.If you want to see your child boy or girl make a significant change in there footskill game, make the call.
