CALIFORNIA BEARS COACHES

Coaches for the Bears include: Dave Palet, owner and coach for over 25 years, and former MLB All-Star Bret Boone.  The Boone's are known as the "first family of baseball;” the only family to have three generations play in the Major Leagues. Bret and I will teach the game, “the Major League Baseball way." We will show your son what scouts want to see and most importantly what they don’t!  We will prepare him with the knowledge he needs to be successful at the next level.

If you’re interested in taking the first step to a college scholarship or playing the Major Leagues, please email DaveP@californiabearsbaseballclub.com
