The 17s this past summer were good and the coaches were great.Had Dan Badgley,was in the Pirates organization,and Derek Golak,played for NIU, as coaches.Cant beat thefall and winter inside workouts, especially strength and speed training with Crabtree.Won a tourney and placed 2nd and third in others. Playing in 18 year old tourneys agianst good competition.The price is a little high but it includes all costs for the off season training.Dissapointed with some of the tourneys we were in,as they didnt have any scouts present, and not much exposure.The Academy stated that players will get top exposure but this wasnt true. Once the season started the Academy didnt support the 17s at all. I cant speak for the other age groups.As you can see theres pros and cons for this program.
