About Quakes Baseball Academy

Located in Laguna Niguel, Quakes Baseball Academy is a private instructional facility that is available by appointment only. All we focus on is baseball. From functional strength and core conditioning to hitting, pitching and catching, all of our instructors are highly skilled and hold multiple certifications. No other facility in Orange County is as committed as we are to providing quality instruction. Our instructors are held to the highest standards and must have the proper training and credentials. Teaching is a skill and not everyone can be an effective instructor, even if they had a successful baseball career. Unlike other facilities, we don’t just hire anyone. Our goal is to help every student improve through hard work and proper mechanics. Just knowing “how” to do something is not enough; it is knowing how to teach it that matters. Have you ever considered the idea that if someone has a set lesson time and is repeatedly going back to that instructor that maybe something isn’t working? A successful instructor does not have “regulars” just people who need work when their mechanics break down. Initially, it will take some time with the instructor, but then the student should be able to apply what is learned on the field and just come back periodically for tune ups.

Another item to consider — In the winter, from November to February, there are about 15 professional baseball players that come to our facility for conditioning and training. They will work side-by-side with the high school players. It is a great opportunity for the high school players to see the pros train, hit, and throw bull-pens and learn from their experience.

Throughout the summer and fall we also train college-age athletes from many of the Orange County schools. Most of these athletes have trained and played with the Quakes program for many years. This gives our younger kids a great environment in which to learn.

We are extremely committed to our clientele, and the only way we can maintain that commitment is to only accept serious students who want to play at the next level.

Quakes’ Philosophy

The Quakes’ philosophy is to teach the fundamentals of baseball while instilling in each player the benefits of hard work, goal setting, self-control, self-confidence, and positive thinking. We try to improve as a group by working on each person getting better. Game and tournament wins are not the focus. Effort is the primary focus. Be accountable for what you do, work hard and everything else will fall into place. NO EXCUSES!

Quakes’ Sportsmanship

Our program is based on effort and accountability. No single player is better than the next. Each player is responsible for what they are capable of and this is different for every player. We have one simple rule: No parent involvement. This isn’t daddy ball. This is a highly instructional program designed help the players physically and mentally excel at every level. We have top coaches and instructors and they are capable of doing exactly what is needed to get the players to the next level.


Player Testimonials
Quakes Baseball Academy
To anyone interested in finding a baseball training program for your child I can not endorse the Quakes program highly enough. John Elliott is as far as I am concerned the foremost trainer, teacher, coach, facilitator, and counselor for all things baseball that you will find in Orange County. I have coached youth baseball for over 28 seasons and when it was time to turn over my son to someone else(for us it was about 12 years old), John was who we choose. As I look back over the last 7 years, and the things John said and did for my son, it is a similar feeling as realizing that everything your father told you came to pass and everything he tried to tell you was in your best interest. I hope that conveys my respect.
