This year we had six of my players (Germantown Athletic Club Tigers 8U) attending your camp. I think that I learned as much as the players after watching your program. The young men you have assisting you are first rate. I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with me about drills, and baseball philosophy. Coach Doug Remer was an outstanding addition to your program; he really made an impression on several of my players, as well as my son Reece and myself. For all of these reasons I believe Diamond Skills Baseball will be successful for years to come. I look forward to seeing all of you at future camps. If you plan to organize a winter camp please feel free to contact me as I may be able to assist you in getting numerous kids together.”

From parents
“My children have been to many camps in the area. I was hesitant about taking my son all the way to Georgetown from Germantown. But, it was well worth the trip. I think it was one of the most organized and beneficial sessions that he has attended.
—Kris Moon, father
“My son, Jacob Hill was very fortunate to take one of your summer clinics, which was offered at Lake Shore. It was the most incredible training opportunity he has ever experienced. Thank you so much for such an informative training clinic. We will be watching for every opportunity for any further clinics.
I was writing to find out if diamond skills offer any clinics in the fall/winter season, or if you would have any recommendation for any facilities, clinics or instructors. We have visited several facilities, ie B.A.T.T., Frozen Ropes facilities, quite frankly, after attending your clinic, which was so comprehensive; we are just not sure these facilities are what we are looking for. Jacob learned so much from your clinic. He obtained great fundamentals, which I want him to embrace. We are fearful other facilities, coaches/trainers may have different training approaches.
I know you are very busy, and you probably get these questions all the time, but if you have any information we would greatly appreciate it. We truly trust any input, which you may provide.
Again, thank you so much for wonderful and comprehensive training program you offer to our children.”
—Mrs. Hill, mother of Jacob
“My son Will attended your camp last week at St. Johns. He was a little apprehensive about going to a camp and not knowing anyone. Well, he had a GREAT time and learned more about the fundamentals of baseball in your week long camp then he has playing little league for the last three years. He won one of your skills competitions on Friday and proudly wore his t-shirt for two days until I made him take it off. You really do a wonderful job with the kids. Do you run any clinics over the winter or early spring —Will can't wait to put all the things he learned to practice and he's already made sure I know that he wants to go back next year.”
—Terry Ovington, mother of Will
“Diamond Skills Baseball is the most comprehensive
youth
training program available. The wealth of coaching experience

I am

I had
the opportunity
to spend
the week
watching

and the
superb
job Diamond

did with

I can assure you that I will
be coaching
the Tigers

“Diamond
Skills is a great organization that teaches the fundamentals
of baseball
very well. I would think that any child would
benefit
from their camp, especially those that are new to the
game. I believe that the earlier we
can teach our kids the proper fundamentals, the more quickly they will advance,
and the more fun they'll have with the game.”
—Rich Feehs, father of Caleb
(age 11)
“My kids are very serious about baseball
and as a parent I am
very serious about their
development. I have found the Diamond Skills Camps to be very well
organized and my
kids have learned a great
deal. I found the coach
to player ratio to be outstanding with a lot of one on one instruction.
I also
feel there is a high
level of bonding that
takes place with both the players and the coaches. Most importantly
the kids had a great
time, saw a lot of baseballs,
and seemed to have made
friends for life.”
—Duane Flowers, father of Charles
and Bo
