Velo is low for kids that size and age.  You have gotten good advice from others about finding a good pitching coach - and I second that.  I will also state the obvious - they need to get in better physical condition in order to reach their potential.

Welcome Andrew. You have gotten some good advice but I think the above is 100% spot on.

Apologizing in advance if my advice is too direct, I know sometimes people don't like to hear what's really on people's minds. 

Keep in mind that big isn't always better and they are at a point in their development where they need to get in better physical condition. That should be #1. They also need to learn other positions, and have their own identity for the game if they will play together. They are behind the curve for their age in pitching, which doesn't always work for everyone. At that age mine was a bit over 6ft, 145lbs, and hitting 80+ going into HS. 

My suggestion is to find a reputable center as suggested, this summer is an excellent time to begin. 

Most of all, stay focused in the classroom.
