LI BEAST

★★★★★Dean Glasser

I am extremely proud to submit this review on behalf of the BEAST Organization Absolutely an outstanding Baseball program, I am extremely impressed with the knowledge and detail oriented nature of this program. The head of BEAST, Pete Kritikos has done an incredible job placing College eligible athletes from D1,D2, and D3. Several of the BEAST prospects have been drafted into the MLB. Pete has assembled some of the most premier coaches on Long Island to support this program. The teams that the BEAST has developed are extremely competitive and have won multiple championships at Prefect Game, Diamond Nation, and around the nation. If your looking to get to the next level BEAST Baseball is a great choice. Sincerely, Dean G Associate Scout MLB

A completely unorganized, unprofessional and non responsive organization. It takes days/weeks to get a reply to an email of text, if ever. The owners were quick to take everyone’s money when they wanted us to all join for Fall baseball. However, they neglected to tell us that they never had a coach for the team. Practice was always combined with another team because they had a coach and we didn’t. For travel games, our team very seldom had enough players to play. When we were forced to combine with other teams for tournaments, the coaches of that team always played their kids before the kids on our team. Unless you spoke up, nothing changed. After many parents complained about the way this team was being run, we were told that an Individual named Steve was going to come in and straighten everything out. We had to force them to have a meeting with us and it ended up being a zoom meeting. Any information that we were given still never proved to be true. Every time we were given a deadline to find out about things like upcoming games, tournaments etc, those deadlines were never kept. We are still waiting to hear who made the teams for the winter program and spring/summer travel teams. Those deadlines came and went without any information coming our way too! The people who run this program don’t even have the decency to let parents know if their child made the team. If anyone wants proof of all this, just ask as I have copies of all of our texts/emails/chats. Run, don’t walk, away from this organization. There are too many other travel teams on Long Island to choose from. To further show how bad this organization is run, at least 6 boys are now playing on other teams. Beast has lost tens of thousands of dollars due to their incompetency. Don’t let them fool you!

Very disappointed with BEAST organization! This organization is very UNPROFFESIONAL, disorganized and POLITICAL! My son was with the team for 2 years. He played short, pitched and batted second in the lineup the past season. He was certainly one of the better all around players on the team. YET, he didn’t make the team in the Fall. Ok, we could accept the decision even though I didn’t agree with it. However, that’s not the reason I’m writing this review. We were never TOLD that he didn’t make the team!!! We found out about it from parents on the team wondering why his name was not on the roster! It gets even worse! They NEVER returned our calls and emails!!! Shame on you BEAST!!! My son is now on a MUCH BETTER organization with better coaches and professionalism!!!

My friend and I registered for tryouts and then less than 24 hours before tryouts, after I had cancelled all my plans for the tryouts, I get an email saying that because I turn 16 in nearly 7 months, I can’t play for the 15u team, apparently Team Beast knows my age better than I do, and so now the 16u team is full and it’s too late for any other tryouts. So instead of receiving an apology or a chance to try out for the older team, I am left without a team and Team Beast couldn’t care any less.

money machine.pay to play, not all that it's cracked up to be My son spent 2 seasons on Beast terrible experience. Ray and Pete only care about their teams, they stack their teams. Unless you pay to play you will be put on an inferior team. they tell you one thing and then do another. complete sham. My son moved to a different team and is sooo much happier.
