Hi Bev - not sure where you are in NH, but I would recommend Concord SportsCenter, Bryan Caruso and Matt Tupman specifically.

If you are in southern NH, try Marc Deschenes at Future Stars in Lowell. He's excellent at both hitting and fielding (and pitching for that matter.)
AB Athletics (Nashua) ... Bobby Tewksbary for hitting / Austin Wasserman for strength training. Both were infielders in D1 / Independent League and run good summer programs at local fields ... plenty of repetitions and mix of fun.
I personally think hands down Marc Deschenes. He is not only knowledgeable but has a great rapport with his students. My son was very fortunate to be able to work with Marc a few years ago and he was instrumental in getting him to the college level. My son is able to still keep in contact with Marc long after working with him. I never have heard a bad thing about him.
Bobby Tewksbary at AB for hitting. We drive from Connecticut to NH so my son can work with Bobby for hitting and Jay Weaver for catching. I hope he gets to see Austin this summer as well.
My son has had many instructors (he's a high school senior), and these guys have been the best.
Bev,
Happy Mother's Day.
If you're in the Merrimack/Bedford/Milford area, Bob Caswell, Power Series in Wilton, is a great hitting instructor. He has taught hitting for many years in the area. I have learned a lot about the mechanics of hitting just by watching. Former college instructor at SNHU, St. A's, and Merrimack College that I know of. And he can pretty much teach your son anything you need to know about infield play as well.
Marc Deschenes at Future Stars in Lowell in my opinion is the best fielding instructor around and does a very good job with hitting as well. I have sent many people to him over the years and never gotten any negative feedback.
