★★★★★Lichah MoOne of the best Baseball/Softball training programs. Staff is so professional and helpful!! Signing my 2 sons and daughter (softball) up was the best decision.
★★★★★Carlos MartinezThey have very good programs! After school support and the book club for the little ones are great, Coach Rocky is the best!
★★★★★Dietric WilliamsThe coaches help the kids learn the fundamentals. They also have a book club after games or practices on Saturday. It's not all play, there's some educational aspects as well. Plus, the kids get to see some of the colleges play so that they get a feeling of what it looks like playing at a higher level.
★★★★Gabe NatividadNice field and visitor seating. Parking lot is small/not enough parking. The scoreboard was not I use, so I'm not sure if it's working. The home team lost, but it was a fun experience. Safe location for baseball and a lot of enthusiasm from the Compton team.
★★★★★TaraGreat guidance. Giving back to children especially in these times is greatly needed and very much appreciated 🙏
