Middle School ACE

Athletes Committed to Excellence

As the premiere program at All Star Academy, the "ACE" Program is what sets us apart from our competitors. We have modeled the ACE after many successful collegiate & professional programs and scaled it appropriately for each specific age group. As the program progresses we target specific areas of need during the different times of the year. The result of this program is that the athlete will develop into a stronger, faster and more fundamentally sound player. As an "athlete committed to excellence", your child will learn the true meaning of commitment and the discipline that it takes to become a better all around athlete. The ACE is made up of two specific seasons with different focuses.

OFF-SEASON November-February: Designed to build speed, power & agility in each athlete with additional focus on arm strengthening, explosive hitting, core strength & cardio-vascular endurance.

First Session is Tuesday, November 18th

PRE-SEASON March-June: Designed to run alongside your community league and geared toward enhancing fundamentals in specific skill sets such as hitting, fielding & pitching while maintaining our existing foundation of physical strength, speed and agility.

"PROGRESS TRACKING" The athletes are evaluated through each portion of the program using a battery of measurements that include video analysis, individual goal setting, objective performance feedback, bat speed, arm speed, 60 yard dash, shuttle run, vertical jump, etc.

Specific Programs included in the ACE

Speed, Strength, and Agility Program: Designed and implemented by Pat Burgess who was the Strength Coach for West Valley JC Baseball Team (top 10 in the country last year), this program is a baseball/softball specific training program designed to increase speed, quickness, power and agility in each athlete.

Explosive Hitting Program: Developed by ASA's principle hitting instructors, this program increases strength, speed and reaction time in the major muscle groups associated with swinging a bat. When combined with proper mechanics, the Explosive Hitting Program enables athletes to both hit the ball harder and farther on a more consistent basis.

Arm Strengthening Program: Through a combination of resistance training, long toss, core strength & proper throwing mechanics, this program will improve an athlete's velocity, distance, accuracy, and range of motion (flexibility) while simultaneously preventing injury.

Skill Clinics (pre-season focus): ASA will run skill specific clinics for our ACE athletes in order to target the essential fundamentals in hitting, pitching, catching and fielding.
