OUR COMMITMENT

"We have instructed some great ball players since we opened our doors in the 1980’s. Many of our Little League students made their all-star teams which have been in regional and state tournaments. We have provided instruction to high school students who have achieved All County, All State and All-American honors. Many of our students go on to play college ball on scholarships. We have had an abundance of players who have signed with professional baseball teams. These are all great chievements but the most rewarding accomplishment is to see each student improve and reach their greatest potential.”

Lawrence & Joe Gilligan Jr.
