What parents say
"My son Gavin attended two private training sessions with Coach Marcos. Gavin had a great time and truly enjoyed working with Coach Marcos. Gavin does not have a lot of baseball experience but loves playing the game. We decided try Heavy Hitters on a recommendation from a teammates mother. It was a great decision Marco worked on the basic fielding and hitting skills Gavin needed. We have already have seen an improvement in his ability. Marcos was able to meet Gavin at his level and explained how to improve in a way Gavin picked up quickly. I highly recommend this facility."
