What South Bay Sports Training Llc does

South Bay Sports Training LLC operates a 50,000 square foot indoor/outdoor baseball and softball training facility in San Jose, California, serving youth athletes (ages 3 through high school) and their families in the San Francisco Bay Area. The facility, which doubled in size in December 2025, houses indoor batting cages with professional-grade automatic pitching machines (40-90 mph baseball plus fastpitch and slowpitch softball), outdoor covered training cages, an outdoor turf field, and an on-site sports performance gym and pro shop. Core service offerings include pay-as-you-go batting cage access, one-on-one private lessons (hitting, pitching, catching, fielding), seasonal youth camps and clinics (Spring Break, Summer, Winter, Holiday) for ages 7-12, and facility rentals for team practices, tournaments, birthday parties, and corporate events.

The business generates revenue across six distinct streams: usage-based batting cage access, packaged private lessons, seasonal camps and clinics, facility rentals, custom team apparel and uniforms through the South Bay Sports Apparel division (screen printing, embroidery, sublimation, custom online stores, fundraising programs), and retail equipment sales. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, primarily local and walk-in, with discovery driven by the company website, social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), email, and word-of-mouth referrals; team sales use a direct B2B field motion. Pricing is unit-based, not publicly disclosed in detail, and all prepaid services expire one year from purchase with no refunds. Distribution combines the physical San Jose facility, a Shopify online storefront for passes and lessons, and an Appointment-Plus scheduling system.

The company is owner-operated, with no disclosed institutional investment. Co-Owner and President Tony Sanguinetti (former Seattle Mariners signee, 2-time All-American) and Co-Owner and Director of Baseball Operations Adam Varteressian (2005 NAIA National Champion closer at Oklahoma City University, coach of 100+ professional players) lead a coaching staff with collegiate and professional experience, supported by General Manager Ben Sanguinetti. The business is structurally integrated with the affiliated Trosky Baseball and Kali Baseball travel team programs, which the company uses as a recruiting and retention funnel and which report 167+ MLB Draft Picks and 960+ college commitments as outcomes. Staff also coach at Valley Christian High School and Los Gatos High School, embedding the brand in elite Bay Area high school pipelines. South Bay Sports Training has 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding rounds or external capital.
