Build a Golden Future
Golden Spikes Baseball develops home-grown players with elite coaching, a no-daddy-ball culture, and whole-game development. For 15+ years we’ve competed locally and nationally—many of today’s Sacramento-area high school to MLB standouts started here. Select teams also travel to Cooperstown and the Spring Arizona Championship. If your athlete is ready for a higher standard of training, culture, and competition, this is where it starts.

Behind Every Spike Is a Story
From little league leaps to big league dreams, see what real families have to say about their journey with us.
I can’t say enough about this baseball organization. They are a facility with private lessons, group workouts and hitting lessons, in addition to having a number of travel teams. My son has been with them on there travel team for two seasons and absolutely loves the coaching staff and the facility. He has played baseball for 6 years and the first year he was with the spikes he learned so much and grew as a player! Shout out to Alex for pitching and Brett for hitting without them teaching my son not sure if he would be where he is in ability today! Thanks Golden Spikes!
Greatest baseball instruction for young boys around!!! They know how to coach and teach kids. You can’t go wrong here.
Alex’s program has developed my son into one of our leagues top strikes thrower at 10 years old. In just one Rocket Arm Session he has increased velocity, accuracy, and consistency. Thanks Coach Alex!
