USA Baseball National Training Center in Cary, NC

I will be going back with my son for a second time next month. It's a great trip, facilities are awesome and NC is a great place to visit. You will enjoy it.

Last year the 18U team was playing and we were able to watch them (Bryce Harper) so that added to the trip. Make it a point to visist UNC or Duke.

I must say, a beautiful facility and staff was great. Son had an absolute blast and faced some great pitching to boot. He was honored to be there knowing how many current MLB'ers have been cut he wa just enamored to be there. Kudos to the USA Baseball people!!!

We found out last night that our son was one of 8 for the 15 NTIS. It is a tremendous honor for him, and we are feeling blessed and humbled. Son was the only one from our region in his age group to make it, but his teammates have been so kind-- texting congrats, calling, and honestly sharing in his excitement. We were with a great group of kids and parents. I believe it was a super time for all, and everyone who participated benefitted from the experience.

CONGRATS Smalltownmom, that is awesome. Our son did not make it but thats quite OK, we are familiar with and aquaintences with the Cousino family and they said their son who won MVP in Taiwan said it was alllll so cool. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Thanks so much. I really think everyone who attended came out a winner. So many positive things are coming out of the trip, and I'm just so glad we decided to go.
