"A common remark coaches and parents share with players all the time is that 'You should have fun when you play baseball' and it's true. However, it is not fun when a player consistently strikes out, makes an error or can't throw strikes. If these same players do not receive proper training, we are setting these players up to fail, and having fun is out of the question."
Mike Martin, LVBA President, former Chicago Cub

Parent's Comments

My son's reactions to camp: After the morning session he wanted to go home. After the afternoon session he couldn't wait for the next day. After the third day he came home asking to play catch and when the next camp would be. By the end of camp I already saw improvement. He is looking forward to this season more than ever.

I thought the program was very well organized. I liked how the kids were broken up into age groups & how they got to work with various coaches.

Michael is really enjoying the Offensive/Defensive clinic. And he can't wait until the Summer Instructional League starts. He always liked playing, but the great instruction and words of encouragement from you and your staff have really helped transform him into a very confident player.
