The Role of Sports in Childhood
Why play sports?
Besides benefits to health and fitness, there is a lot to be gained from sports. Children learn the value of practicing to improve– a lesson that translates well into other areas of life (including school work). Sports ability is also an avenue for many kids to develop an identity and self confidence. Confidence achieved through sports, even at an early age, contributes to confidence in other areas, helping to make kids successful in everything they do.
At Future Star Baseball, we work with students to focus on improving their personal physical skill sets. At this same time, we consciously aim to instill a self confidence that will follow and support the player in endeavors beyond athletics.

“Ben Mangan is a fantastic private baseball coach. Growing up in the East Bay, I was looking for ways to improve my game. After getting connected with Ben everything clicked. Ben was my private coach for over 10 years. I owe all of my baseball skill and knowledge to him. Highly Recommend to anyone looking for a great coach and mentor.”

“My son is 11 and has been playing baseball for 6 years and Future Star Baseball has been there the whole way! He’s done everything from camps, after-school programs, to private lessons and have enjoyed every minute. Ben is a great guy and it’s important to him that the kids are having fun as well as improving their baseball skills. He’s a great resource for East Bay baseball folks and I don’t know what we would do without Future Star!”

“Our son was just getting started in Little League, and we realized right away that he needed to improve his skills. He attended their camp over spring break, and he definitely improved his skills all around. After camp, he his the ball and catches much better. Also, the staff is very nice, and our son enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend FSB for any kid!”
