Seasons
ASA is home to the premiere Club Team Program in the Bay Area because of our unique training style. With the knowledge that "Championships are won in the Off-Season", we have developed our program to include 3 seasons, with each season having a specific training focus. The first 2 seasons are spent in the ACE program building a foundation of strength, speed and power while increasing individual mechanics such as hitting, pitching & fielding. The 3rd season is spent training and competing in a team atmosphere through workouts, practice games and tournaments.
