Testimonials

I think it is safe to say that every parent wants the best for their child. Finding the best can sometimes be a problem. However, after 2 years with Joe and Jeff along with their entire staff I feel lucky to have found the best coaching staff for my son. Christopher is just short of his seventh birthday so he is still young but if you ask him he is an old hand at this baseball stuff. PBA has nurtured Christopher from a young age and has helped to teach him the fundamentals of baseball. We couldn’t be more pleased with Christopher’s development.

I think it all comes down to trust and knowledge. We trust in Joe and Jeff’s staff. They are a highly ethical group of coaches that set an outstanding example for the younger players. I know that with all of their years in baseball, with many of those years coming as pro players, they have the knowledge to teach my child properly. The bottom line is that we have had a great experience with PBA. As a LL coach I have recommended that my players attend PBAs camps and consider taking private lessons through PBA.

Steven Pack was playing Little League Majors and was in the midst of a long batting slump (beginning early in the previous season). He was put last in the batting order and struck out most of time. After just three lessons with Coach Joe Mac he was consistantly hitting line drives up the middle and was moved to the lead off position. On top of that, he was voted onto the All Star team. His increased confidence was evident both on the field and off of the diamond!.  Thanks Coach Mac!"
