20 Future College Players - 3 Players Selected in the MLB Draft
Welcome to Golden Era Baseball.
Thank you for hearing a little more about us as a program, where we started, where we are now, and what we plan to do for your son as he continues down his baseball road…
Golden Era’s commitment and goal for all of our players is simple really, to do our best to help every player within the program begin to reach their potential, to get better…and to help them reach and be more prepared for their next level…both on the field and off the field.
Golden Era Baseball was formed in the Fall of 2004, by offering one Off-Season Hitting Class. The class sold-out in a matter of mere minutes from players and families that already knew and had worked with Golden Era Lead Program Coach, Derek Bell.
The class consisted of players who moved on to do some rather special things with the game of baseball, including Andrew Prince who would eventually move on to play baseball at Harvard University as well as Tyson Ross, who is currently in the Major Leagues on the San Diego Padres, to go along with Joey Ross, who is also currently in the Major Leagues with the Washington Nationals.
Our High School Club Team Program started with one 18 and under team, which took the field over Memorial Day Weekend in 2005 with mainly a group of “unknown” players at the time.
Never did we imagine that the entire line-up of our first game we ever played, plus all those who did not start that game, would end up playing college baseball, to go along with 3 of those players being drafted in the Major League Draft.
From there the tradition has continued to grow. Since 2005, the program has produced well over 200 College Baseball Players, several Division 1 College Baseball Players along with numerous players selected in the Major League Draft.
In Fall of 2011 Golden Era Baseball added our Youth or Pre-High School Travel Teams.
Our Youth Club / Travel Team Program has grown into the most complete pre high school program in the area, where the focus is put on training, teaching, and preparing players to play high school baseball.
Over the years our Youth Teams have won numerous tournaments, had every player within our knowledge move on to play high school baseball, and finished with rankings as high as #2 in the country and
# 1 in Northern California.
But the number of games we play and where our players have moved on to isn’t the cornerstone of our program…
Golden Era’s focus is put on instruction and individual skill development. We pride ourselves in taking players from where they’re currently at as a player and doing our best to help them excel even further.
We’re looking forward to an awesome 2016 Spring / Summer Season, and we welcome your entire family to be part of it!
