★★★★★Terri Dukes

Alex was incredibly helpful in the process of finding the best college fit for our son. We are so grateful for his guidance and knowledge, patience and availability, and answering so many of our questions to help us wrap our head around this uncharted territory for us. He helped to improve our son‘s skill and did whatever he could to promote our son and market him to the college coaches. He spend time providing us good council helped us through the process in finding the best fit. Alex has created a supportive and fun community of like-minded, driven young athletes and their families. I will forever be thankful we found this hard working and dedicated coach and mentor.

Working with Alex and The Yard Wolfpack has been an incredible joy for our entire family and a great development opportunity for our son Jax. Alex sets a strong vision for character, skill, and leadership development for the players and one that he exemplifies in himself. This is more than just baseball. It's more than just trying to win tournaments. The value here is multi-faceted and personalized. There is no rubber-stamp approach. Further, the relationships with college coaches and guidance in how to engage with them makes this program highly valuable for those interested in playing at the next level. We recommend The Yard without hesitation to those who love the game of baseball, desire to play beyond high school, and who seek to grow in their character and maturity through the process.

The Yard Baseball Academy is an outstanding facility led by Coach Alex and a knowledgeable, dedicated staff. Training goes far beyond mechanics, emphasizing core values, respect for the game, academics, and personal growth. The welcoming environment, open access to the facility, and individualized coaching help players reach their full potential. The commitment to the recruiting process and long-term development truly sets The Yard apart. Alex has been a huge part of our sons development not only on the field but in the mental aspect of the game as well, and was a huge reason he was able to find the perfect college both academically and to play baseball at the next level.

My son has been playing for Alex and The Yard organization for past 2 years, he has also been a pitching coach for him since he was 12. My son has played with a few organizations and this is by far the best! Alex teaches core values on and off the field. He teaches the boys respect for the game and to become the best version of themselves on and off the field as well as in the classroom. When talking about colleges and decisions, he instills in the young men that education comes first. Alex puts in a lot of time to help these young men get in front of college coaches and be seen to be able to play at the next level. He creates a fun atmosphere for the boys at his new facility, allows open time to come in and throw a bullpen, hit, lift weights or just come in to chat. The experience that Alex has created with this organization is truly one of a kind. My son and our family will be forever grateful for the experience this organization has given us and relationships and friendships that will last a lifetime.

★★★★★Scott Townsend

The best baseball/softball decision we ever made. Our son and daughter have trained directly with Alex for over 6 years and been a part of The Yard since it's inception and it was a key componant to both of their development as a student athletes and individuals. Both had success throughout the recruiting process and will continue to play baseball & softball in college largely due to the guidence and environment provided by Alex, his staff and The Yard Baseball Academy. We are forever greateful that our timing had our paths cross when they did and proud to be a part of the "Yard Family" from day one and for many more.
