Our son has been working on getting stronger in his throwing and pitching over the last 21 weeks. He absolutely loves working with Chris! Chris is very patient and extremely good at identifying areas that need work. We have seen great improvement. Thank you!
Chris the pitching coach was great. Very patient with our son. He looks forward to going every week.
Becaue we build confidence
This place is like the Mickis Gym in Rocky 1. Nothing fancy, but some serious baseball training going on in here.We have been multiple times, with multiple coaches (hitting and pitching) and i now understand why this place is a hidden gem. For hitting, we found that all of the coaches all taught the same hitting technique. My son (13) picked up the technique fairly quickly and started to invite his other team mates to the school as well. After several months, the kids on his travel team all starting to talk about the batting technique (A to B to C) and reinforce what they learned during our team practices.I am finding, with pitching, that our coach (Former advanced pitcher himself) is teaching my son a way to pitch that is building on what my son knows, but is taking it to a professional level, something he will use from now going forward. If you love baseball and/or want your kid to start with the right formula, you gotta get here.
For private lessons the staff is amazing. Pitching, catching and hitting they are 5 stars. For travel teams they are still too inexperienced to rate any higher than 3 stars. So I gave a 4. Our first year was 4 stars, it would have been 5 if the organization could have told one parent to stop calling coaches and John weekly. Come to find out she went to HS with John and forced some playing time for her son who made the team as a favor. 2nd year we had great talent on the line up but only had 2 fielding practices all summer and 1.5 hrs of hitting per week. We also had one extremely negative parent, who sat by themselves all summer but great thing is the GM did address that one so hats off to Mazz for learning from the prior year. She walked around quietly the rest of the games. We did find out the assistant coach quit 2 weeks before the season, we had a change in head coach and they never back-filled the asst coach. No practice and little hitting; the boys got worse as the season went on. Kids paying for, separate, hitting lessons had good BAs. Most kids had more errors in 1 summer then they did in several yrs combined. We got out what was put in is the best way to state it. Lucky for us our son was only 14-15U and it really was not a big deal since there was nothing anyone could have done. Just a shame b/c it could have been a great 2 years if they had Assistant Coaches, 1-2 practices a week, and Parent Code of Conduct rules. they had the talent that is for sure. 100% of the kids on our team played HS ball and will continue to do so. I really hope they figure it out b/c its such a negative image on a great Instructional Organization. John and his staff are great let me make that clear. Its growing pains, i am confident in 2-3 yrs they will figure out the travel program side, its super profitable that is for sure. NOTE: they have great 17-18U teams. The younger age groups were a first our 2 yrs, hence why I am confident they will learn from experience and keep improving the younger kids.
