  “My first summer playing baseball in the US was under Coach Joel Perez. He taught me to be confident in myself and always encouraged me to be a better player. Not only was he a great coach, but also a great person. He guided me through the entire process of finding a college where I could play baseball. Without his support I am not sure if I would have had this opportunity. He is one of the most organized and put together coaches I have ever had and he worked tirelessly to open doors for me. I am grateful to Coach Perez and because of his leadership, I was able to go on and play college baseball.”

"I had the privilege of having Coach Joel as one of my coaches. He provided an intensity to each practice and game that brought the best out of our players and worked tirelessly to make sure we realized our full potential. Joel made me feel like family the whole time I played for him. That gave me the confidence to grow and develop as a player and as a person. As a result and due in part to his guidance, I was able to sign with the Texas Rangers out of high school. If you’re looking for someone to push you to be your best, then Joel is your guy.”

“Coach Darren Gurney is an invaluable resource for kids of all ages. When I was in high school, Coach Gurney ran a college prep baseball class which introduced us to the scouting process and stressed the importance of academic excellence. I leveraged those principles to receive D1 offers from Notre Dame and Columbia University, among others, as well as signing a professional contract with the New York Yankees. I would trust nobody more with developing a kid's skills on and off the field."
