Campbell Little League was the dopest little league around. Growing up all we thought about was making the majors 9-12yr olds. T-ball, farm, minors were all just stepping stones. Campbell little league and baseball in general is what kept me straight growing up. While my boys were wild'n out on the streets, I was at the field 24-7. I would either be playing, practicing, studying other teams, announcing, even umpiring at times (dream job as a teen). Most importantly I learned how to be a team player and a leader... more or less, they taught me how to be a man in the work place. I coached my old team one summer when I was 18 and it was one of the best experiences in my life! If you live in Campbell and have a boy/girl who wants to play ball... hopefully you are in their district!

Coach Gabe brings passion that is real, powerful, and contagious. We were on Coach Gabe's NJB…read morebasketball team for 3rd and 4th graders and this was our son's first time playing with NJB. He had played two seasons with Upward and was ready to move on to a more competitive league. Our son had to learn all the rules and playing his position. We started taking him to Coach Gabe's Rise Above training and our son quickly developed into a very strong player. He actually made the All Star Team. In addition, Coach Gabe took our NJB team to Championship and we won, plus we were the only undefeated team in the league. The incredible growth and improvement in playing the game of basketball individually and as a team was evident, and incredible and just amazing to watch. Our son will continue to play with Rise Above.

I recently saw the review around discrimination and was very surprised to read about this experience. Being around this club for so many years, seeing the dense diversity throughout the club and specifically on our teams, I have only witnessed staff and coaches approach all players with equal respect and coaching across the board. This club has continuously shown a desire to grow its programs and develop players to their highest potential, while also focusing on the foundation of enjoying the game and learning long lasting life skills. We continue to look forward to each season with LGU and can't wait to get our younger sons involved in the coming years as well!

My daughter has been part of the LGU competitive program for several years now and I can confidently say it stands out as a truly inclusive and development-focused environment for players of all backgrounds. From day one, the program has demonstrated a commitment to equity, respect, and opportunity for every participant, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background. Coaches and staff foster a culture where diversity is celebrated, and each player is valued not just for their skill, but for who they are. Our teams consistently were (and are) comprised of individuals of all colors and ethnicities and they have been celebrated and cultivated as the best, top players on our team. I've always felt the focus has been on finding the most talented girls with the best skill set for the team. LGU has created a close knit family environment and is working toward making the club a stronger and more desirable destination. I am excited about the move to ECNL and I have universally felt the goal is to grow the club and make it better without regard for race. Staff has also always treated us with respect and attention to strengthening player's skills looking toward supporting their long term goals. I have never witnessed dismissive behavior from club staff directed at certain ethnic groups. I don't know anyone on our team that has felt otherwise and I love their community.

Amazing client services, really sad that most gym/sportsmemberships aren't like this team…read more I got a memebership there a year back but hurt myself pretty badly. Unfortantely, I had to stop going and processed a cancellation of my membership. Some how the process never finished and I was getting charged. I was able to get help from the location manager (Lou) and she was really understanding and respectful. She was able to get the situation resolved pretty quickly and I remembered why I fell in love with the place. You can always replace equipment and courts but you can't replace great client experiances. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a sports gym to check out the Hub Alameda

The surfacing on the courts and the amount of courts they have here is amazing! However I will say,…read morepricing just keeps going up and I don't think it's going to stop, because they know people here in the bay make too much and will pay whatever amount to have nice courts with good people to play here. I personally just buy the day passes here and come during the weekend every so often, and stay all day (since they have in n out privileges) to make my pass worth it. I remember the good old days when day passes were just $25, but now it is $40! A bit too much for me, if you are looking for a free court with good opponents, you can play at Mitchell park in Palo Alto. Also, during rainy days is very busy so be mindful of that if you are coming because you can't play outside for free, because everyone else has the same idea! Other than that, when I do come to the hub, I always get good games in when I play in the higher skill levels

Plenty of parking and come right after work 5:00/5:30pm on Mondays for free range of any batting cage! I love how this place didn't even bat an eye (pun intended) at a pregnant woman wanting to whack a few slow pitch softballs to blow off some steam. Of course, I had the doc's permission, so it's was a perfect experience. Buy $15 of tokens on the debit card, borrow a bat at the desk and helmet from the back wall, you're good to go! I would recommend hand sanitizer before and after, as well as bringing a baseball cap to wear underneath the helmets if you borrow one - note: helmets are required and it doesn't matter if you're doing slow pitch or fast pitch or if your younger or older - helmets for all.

Our family is so thankful to the Church for putting this on in their first rate gym. Oh, and you don't have to be a Church member or even a Christian to play.

My left our old gym due to it not being a good fit for my daughter anymore. My daughter is extremely driven and has a huge passion for cheer and tumbling. We are on the Elite Youth teams, we have two coaches who truly were a blessing for what my daughter needed. They are the perfect balance of structure and nurturing she has grown so much since we have been at this gym thanks to them and it has been it's truly amazing. Her memory is getting better and she is able to retain choreography faster as well as has been doing better in school with memory retention which she has always struggled with, She takes flexibility once a week, which has given her such beautiful tumbling form with straight legs. She loves tumbling and is always hungry to learn new skills. When we came she was a level 2 tumbler and in 7 months she is already perfecting some level 4 skills and she just turned 8 years old last week. The gym also offers open gym once a week for the students to work on their routine or tumbling, giving students always the opportunity to self improve. Privates- I believe all or mostly all coaches offer private lessons. Whenever we have choreo changed: learning a new skill or just want extra help to perfect skills we do private lessons. We have worked with many coaches at the gym. Coach Corrine is a sweet soul, shes fantastic for students who are learning new skills, she's very patient and encouraging and my daughter loved working with her. Coach Roy is perfect for high level tumblers who want to work and perfect skills, he has had many years in the business and has a huge understanding of the body mechanics that go into high-level skills! Families- Coming into a new gym the family dynamic is huge, it could be a make or break for the experience and I am saying we have some of the nicest families, we were welcomed to the team immediately. Our team has built our own little cheer family and it makes traveling for comps so enjoyable having each other to lean on, during very long comp days. Owner and management- our owner lives for her business, she truly puts her heart and soul into each and every team within her company. She takes time to get to know all the athletes in her program and spends equal attention to the senior teams as much a the novice. Her management team is ON IT! You need something, help with billing, scheduling, ordering and it is always a rapid response! We also have online apps to be able to communicate so any questions to owner or staff you can always get to who you need without stressing and guessing. When choosing a gym my main concerns were, is my daughter learning and advancing in her skills and is my daughter being taken care of emotionally, I never want to see the light in her dimmed and the love for the sport go away as well as I feel a trophy is never worth my daughters mental health. When I pick my daughter up from the studio she is motivated and hungry to come back and learn more, she would live at the gym if I let her. That is what makes ASA a wonderful healthy environment for young athletes.
