catchaprospect, you have an email.

For anyone that has the ability and is interested in going, I went this morning and I loved it. The amount of reps I had hitting, at 1B, OF is not comparable to any other program, especially in the fall/winter season.

I'm sure, knowing Coach Snuez, that these events are tops. I got to watch him first hand work with some players at the PG Northeast event and I for one was impressed with his approach. Only wished for his program only, that we lived closer to Rochester.....

i was very impressed with the amount of character/quality players that Coach Merc develops with the World Yacht Clippers... we are looking forward to doing many things with him and his players this upcoming summer....

Coach Merc, i think you should post the email you sent me over the weekend regarding helping that young kid -- there are plenty of quality people here that would really be able to help him out

catchaprospect...do you do any camps or instruction in Illinois thru the winter?

if there was enough interest i would entertain coming out there... i do them in buffalo, rochester, and scranton,pa

I've looked at your website, but do not see anything about camps...any info you can share with me in a private message?
