He’s been great in working with my 7 year old for the past year and we’ve both seen a ton of
improvement. He’s gotten better in fielding and pitching, and particularly hitting and enjoys the
sessions every other week. Overall 5 stars.

My son just started taking hitting/fielding lessons with Coach Gil (3 months) and we’ve seen significant improvement. Coach Gil does a great job of tailoring the lesson to the player’s specific needs. For my son, focusing on power and solid consistent contact. We’ve also recently started taking our younger 8 year old son to Coach Gil. Highly recommend.

My son Gavin was looking for a hitting lesson to build a little confidence and smooth out his swing a bit. Coach Gil completed a thorough evaluation of Gavin and gave him some tips and drills to use at home, even from the first lesson. Gavin really enjoyed his time with Coach Gil and is looking forward to getting a few more lessons in the future.

My son Nate has been working with coach Gil for a few months now. Before working with coach Gil, I wouldn’t see much discipline in my son while batting. I tried working with my son but nothing would change. I thought maybe hearing it from someone else would work. So I was recommended from another client of coach Gil for my son to work with him. Ever since working with coach Gil, I have seen my son improve dramatically and my son seems to like working with him. I appreciate everything coach Gil has taught my son and appreciate how professional he is. I would like to rate coach Gil at a 5 star rating and would definitely recommend to other parents.
