Choctaw, Bama and Al can provide you with much more insight into NW Shoals than I can. However, my son and I did spend a day there. Coach Langston is a very high energy coach. We observed him running a tournament, interacting with some of his players, helping players to complete their schedules and deal with a recruit's visit. His wife was running the gate at the tournament. (Don't underestimate what that means!) A very nice campus and field - well kept. He's a very polite and knowledgeable guy. He actually taught my son a pitch the day we visited! I would recommend to anyone that asks, that they check out the program/school. Well worth your time!

Thanks to all that responded.

David Langston is a top quality coach. Many of the top players that play elite travel baseball throughout their highschool years would really benefit by Langston giving them an opportunity to play college ball.
