All Star Academy

Been there a few times with my kid for the cages and has been a neat experience all the time. Front desk is pretty friendly and the balls get replenished periodically. The machine to scan the cards don’t work great and once in a while the machine misses balls. Our goto place for batting cage.

I use this batting cage all the time. It is by far the best one around. Staff is friendly and helpful. I always advise others looking for a batting cage to go to All Star Academy

Second time we’ve arrived during «Open Now» hours and All Star has been closed.
If a company is going to post that it’s open, BE OPEN! Especially during fall ball season!

Awesome!
I’ve been to several batting cages and this one is by far the best. Facility is kept clean and have speeds available from slow pitch softball and 35MPH baseball to 70 mph baseball!
Very rarely is there a problem with a machine and when their is the staff is very quick to fix it (Unlike other batting cages).
This place isn’t just batting cages, they also have travel ball teams, camps, and private lessons.
The private lessons are $ 45 for softball and 55 $ for baseball. 30 min of 1 on 1 with professional trainers/​coaches. All the coaches have played in college or professionally!
Highly recommended!

Awesome place to take your kids to hit in the batting cages. Prices are good and they have deals if you go at a certain time of day.
Facility is clean and well kept.

I have another season of softball and visits to All Star Academy under my belt. Have I mentioned how fun it is to go to the batting cages? Perhaps that’s why I enjoy hitting during a game. Practice definitely makes a big difference. It’s such a great payoff when you hit that line drive over the players’ heads. LOVE IT! Anyway, I recently brought a friend and her kids to All Star Academy. The pre-​teen could’ve hit forever (except he didn’t have to pay for it). There were other people using the batting cages when we got there on a Saturday afternoon, but one of two slow pitch machines were readily available for us.

Came here at 7:50pm on a Tuesday, after checking Unilocal,their Website, and calling (no one picked up, so it went to a recorded message) and all sources said they were open until 9pm. When I got there they said they are only open until 8pm. I was bummed but the guy behind the desk gave me gave me and my wife a free round each before they closed. Within a couple days, they updated Unilocal and their website with the correct closing time.
Each cage is rated for a specific speed and has a toggle switch to go between softballs and baseballs. Make sure you have the toggle set correctly before the round starts because you can’t change it once the pitches start.

Great place… helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Cages are cheap… in good working condition. I held a fundraiser event here, not only was ASA generous in their donations, but the staff was helpful, the cages great, and the space perfect. Parking was easy, comfortable place to relax if you are not batting, laid back/​comfortable vibe.

I’ve noticed that a lot of kids show up «cold» to little league season, having played almost no baseball since the previous Spring, and both they and their parents are hoping the Dad/​Coach is going to really teach them to play in a few hours per week despite the 12:1 ratio he’s dealing with. If your kid wants to succeed at baseball — and you don’t have both the time and experience to teach him all of the right mechanics — I’d highly recommend some instruction here.
This winter I took my boys into All Star about 10 times to benefit from:
— Indoor facility means you can play in both rain and darkness
— Hitting lessons with Nate, former pro who was great with my 6 – 10 year olds
— Pitching lessons for my 10 year old with Ian, another former pro who really improved my son’s form and got him excited about pitching
— Batting cages provided some extra reps when we weren’t doing lessons
— In the off season, there were often free lesson lanes, so we could practice pitching/​catching/​batting while waiting for someone else
Overall I’m thankful All Star is here; would come more often if it was closer to our home.

From batting cages, to pitching and hitting lessons, to camps, All Star is top notch. The cages are consistent and well-​maintained, all the coaches seem to do a good job, but my boys have most experience with Ian for pitching and Shane for hitting, and always come out feeling great, and with feedback we can use to improve their performance. They’ve had fun at camps, but definitely come out with a better idea of how to execute good basic baseball skills. We always get good service from staff at the desk. We live in San Jose, so other facilities are more conveniently located for us, but we’re happy to keep making the trip to All-​Star. You will be too.

This place is a gem!
We had a LONG wait for our party at K1 Racing up the street and popped in on the chance that All Star could accommodate us. They could not have been more helpful! The place is very well run, lots of fun and great value for money. My younger son now wants to hold his birthday party there in the summer.

The guys that work here are super friendly. My friends and I came here half an hour before closing and they were still willing to help us out and let us hit.
They have plenty of cages, indoor and outdoor, to use and the prices are pretty reasonable. The balls start out really low and eventually get to a good placement. A little bit of a waste in my opinion but I guess I shouldn’t complain since I’m no pro or anything.
I will definitely be back!

The facility is decent, certainly better than most batting cages in the South Bay area. I’ve been at All Star Academy several times. At times the place gets crowded. They have machines that throw baseballs and softballs. If you don’t pay attention to the switch you tend to waste your money. The machines throw pretty decently but the higher-​speed machines seem to be somewhat tilted or you cannot see the ball coming. Most of the guys at the counter do not have a particularly nice attitude. They hardly smile and they will take your money without showing appreciation to the customer.

Great place to relieve some stress. Get a card, fill it with a few rounds, put a helmet on, choose which batting «cage» you want to hit from (depending on speeds ranging from 35−60mph maybe even higher) and go for it.
Will definitely return.

I will have to say for the space they have they used it very well. The staff here is very knowledgeable and friendly. The machines work and the cost is about the same as other batting cages.
I as able to bring my friends son here and he was able to work off the 40mph, 45mph and 55mph batting speeds. They all worked and the ball placement was the same each and every time. I would recommend anybody that has a child in little league to bring them here for some extra batting practice.

I’ve been to ASA a few times over the past couple of years since my kid started playing baseball. I’m not an athletic sort and my kid definitely has my genes! So, to help with his batting I started bringing him to ASA.
As others wrote it’s $ 3 for 20 balls (non-​member) which seems reasonable. ASA has both slow pitch softball and baseball pitch starting at 35mph. Last year’s Pinto 1 was coach pitch and I found the slow pitch softball to be good practice allowing him to work on both fundamentals and develop his swing. The short breaks between pitches gave me time to give some guidance (elbow up, knees bent, feet square to the plate, fire your hips, etc) and the ball moves fast enough kids learn to swing faster/​harder. After each round of 20, I talked/​showed him things to work on.
This year we’re in Pinto 2 and they just started kid pitch. I have to say I’m surprised how many 8 year olds have decent control and throw hard. In coach pitch, my kid always made contact before with some clean hits to the outfield, but with kid pitch he’s striking out more often. So far, he’s had 5 at bats and struck out 4 times. :-(Although we have kids pitching to batters during practice it’s just not enough reps.
Tonight, I took him down to ASA and in 30 minutes he took ~100 pitches with me coaching him between rounds. My metric of progress is after his 1^st round there were a lot more balls in the batting area (meaning he swung & missed or barely fouled it off) and after the 5^th round there were only a few balls in there. We’ll see if it helped at all in tomorrow’s game…
You can always pitch to your own kid for free, but you’ll want a catcher, a fielder and a bucket of balls to keep things moving. As for myself, I can’t pitch consistently enough for him to efficiently get the work he did tonight.

Get’s really crowded on a rainy day, but had a lot of fun here.
Sometimes the netting on the sides can be annoying because the the bats often hit it.

First time there. I’m on a softball team and we came there for batting practice. 20 balls for $ 3. Seems a bit high but what do I know.

I went last night to get in some practice before the next season of softball opens up at Twin Creeks. I’d never been here before, but I go to a lot of the batting cages in the south bay.
The softball cage I used was a little cramped on the right-​handed side of the plate. I couldn’t get fully extended on my swings, and the net got a beating that night. I will say that the cages themselves are shared and wide open, so you can pull the ball in any direction and watch it fly down the line almost like an oudoor cage at Twin Creeks.
The machine got jammed a number of times, but the staff behind the counter were immediately helpful and gave me a free round for the trouble. I forget their names, but they were very friendly and gave me a quick 15 second tour of the cages they had available.
Even the other batters were friendly, and we were joking around between pitches. I really felt like I was welcome there, and I attribute that to the atmosphere.
I’ll go back again this week, for sure. I put another 4 rounds on my card for next time, and I’m looking forward to repeating the experience.

I’ll vouch for 1-​review Tom (update: seems like he got filtered!). Great place to hit some baseballs at several different speeds. Seems to cater to youths. They also have personal instruction.
If you’re into softball, all you do is flip a switch and you’ve got fast-​pitch softball in the same cage! They also have recreational slow-​pitch softball. Very friendly staff. Recommended!
$ 3 for 20 whiffs…
