Parent testimonials:

Organization and attention to detail aside, what struck me most were the coaches. All of them were wonderful, genuinely kind and gracious to the kids. Karl and Drew in particular really stood out; their character, manners and grace was beyond anything you’d expect of coaches running in 100 degree heat with forty kids.

They both took the time each morning to greet everyone with warmth and an encouraging word and stirred energy for the morning ahead – 

Karl’s daily emails went above and beyond expectations – watching the videos enthused and encouraged Connor. One night he asked if he could get out of bed and hit the ball against a wall outside! 

Sinead H – 8/17/22

Thank you so much for this and for everything you did to support and challenge William during camp. He had a wonderful experience, and we are so grateful for your leadership, kindness and expertise – not just in the sport, but also in supporting young players and helping them build character and feel valued.
