"Get better every day"
RICHIE KIMM: OWNER and INSTRUCTOR
After my playing career ended due to an injury I knew my next chapter was to continue my passion for teaching baseball that was discovered when I was instructing at Sacramento City college baseball camps, where I witnessed the impact a "good coach" can have on a player. It's amazing to watch a player light up when they learn something new. Seeing their joy and excitement is contagious and that's what has kept my love for teaching and the game of baseball for over the last 30 years.
