Powered by GooglePhenomenal Facility, and Amazing Staff. Coach Pat and his Support Staff are #1!
Really cool place with knowledgeable staff - we went for a catchers program and my child learned a lot in the 4 weeks they went. All the coaches were great and I especially loved the dugout waiting area for parents.
My son enjoys the coaches, they are very good with the players. I can see the improvements in his stance at bat and pitching. Great job guys!
Lots of money, little loyalty and no consistency. My son was with Teels for three years. It started out well with a solid training facility to get the kids ready to play their season. Unfortunately, it only went downhill from there. Our first season coach quit and was replaced by two well meaning young guys with little team coaching experience. The team enjoyed their time together but were not competitive for the most part and did not show much improvement overall. Year two, we had another coach with more experience who was committed and whom them boys liked playing for. They learned more that season, were competitive, played as a team and showed improvement. In year three, they combined two teams (A & B) into one and again (most of the boys) had yet another coach. While they learned at the facility, they didn’t get enough repetitions in field practice to improve small things like tracking a fly ball or prep steps in the infield. Fundamentals should be trained on the field and they did not get much of that to improve their skills. They were again not competitive that year or in Cooperstown. Then came the time for other boys (newcomers) to tryout for the fourth year team with the promise and policy that returning boys would retain their spot on the team. Well, they lied and cut boys that had been playing for Teels for years. The coach that was continuing has good baseball acumen and is a nice guy but lacks assessment skills and does not put in the work to train the boys on the field to improve. I don’t trust a one of them now since going back on their policy and doing it in a way where they tried to lie about how it happened. My son was a work in progress at the time but was committed from day one and didn’t deserve that treatment. He may never have been good enough or great but they robbed him of the chance to find out.
The instruction, staff and coaching is exceptional at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center. Every point of contact I had with them was genial and professional. The place exudes an incredibly positive vibe. My kids have been taking a winter clinic and the coaches are attentive, positive, and supportive. I have watched all the kids in the clinic grow tremendously improving in mechanics, attitude, and confidence. The well qualified staff, team together to create an atmosphere that encourages learning. They lead by example and take the time to explain everything taught so that the kids understand, and can be better baseball and softball players on and off the field. My sons love it and cannot wait to go back. In the past we have done other baseball instruction including clinics and Teels far outweighs the others. It is the real deal and is the yardstick for how a baseball and softball training center should be run. I highly recommend the Teels to anyone that wants to improve and stay on top of their game!
