Bronco Baseball Academy, Walnut Creek

Ben Campopiano didn't start his career by just appearing out of a cornfield like Shoeless Joe Jackson does in every sports movie. Ben coached baseball at Northgate High School, where they led teams into the post-season and helped youth athletes hone their skills. At Bronco Baseball Academy, he distills his years of expertise into weeklong camps for players aged 5–12 years. Along with his fellow baseball instructors, Campopiano lead drills and games that focus on all aspects of the game: throwing, catching, hitting, base running, and everything in between. He also work alongside a certified athletic trainer, who ensures players stay safe and healthy throughout each day of training.
