It was an absolute pleasure coaching this group this summer! Great group of players and families to be around every weekend.
This group finished 27-7-1 on the year and is extremely talented. Excited to watch them continue to get better!

- This is why we do what we do @GbaDevelopment. Our players are taught how to run the bases on their own, learn times to the plate and when to steal. When to use the bunt on their own. How to read swings on the defensive side to position themselves.Modern ballplayers are criticized for lack of feel & game instincts. -We tell hitters when to take/swing/bunt -We call every pitch & defensive play -We tell runners when to steal & advance It’s hard to develop feel when you’re never given freedom to make your own decisions.
