One parent, Greg S., states that he has sent his son to numerous camps in the Tri-Valley and that the staff at Danville Baseball Academy push the kids to get better while having fun, and that he would not send his child to any other organization. Another parent, Chad P., states that other camps have been a waste of money and time and that the staff at Danville Baseball Academy push the kids to get better and teach the game, and that he will keep sending his three boys back. A third parent, Jennifer T., states that coaches are not afraid to call out kids who are goofing around and distracting the group, that most of the skills needed to play were covered, that her son had a great time, and that coaches engage the kids in a positive and fun manner. The program also notes that sponsors make what the organization does possible and asks families to show support and thank these sponsors for their commitment.
