This Months Coaching Tip
Be who you are!  Lots of times, players and parents get wrapped up into having to be the "superstar" everyday they put on a uniform.  Baseball is a team game and not one player wins a single game.  It takes nine.  Lots of kids try to be more than who they can be and try to copy what other great players or professionals do.  We say be who YOU are!  Work hard, have fun, make good decisions and compete at your maximum potential and good things will happen.

Testimonials

My two sons, Kenneth and Nicholas, began expressing interest in baseball at the ages of 9 and 7. They were raw in their skills without much of any previous instruction.  I wanted to give them the very best opportunity to learn the game, and as such did quite a bit of research on who could provide them with the greatest knowledge and instruction. One name kept continually rising to the top... Play Ball Academy.  My research has paid off, as this has been the best decision 

I could have made in their baseball instruction.  Today, my sons are at the top of their game and have enjoyed every moment of their journey.

Joe and Jeff have created a baseball academy which fosters not only  learning the game of baseball, but also making it fun and exciting for  those they are instructing.  They have the unique ability and focus to draw upon the positive attributes of beginning through advanced players and develop them to the next level.

I have been extremely impressed by this organization, which is why I not only have my two sons under their tutelage, but also why I schedule my Little League team camps with them season after season.  I would highly recommend the Play Ball Academy to anyone seeking to improve their children's or team skills.  I am a firm believer that an organization is only as good as the people who work there, which is precisely why Play Ball Academy is the very best of it's class.

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!"
