Wow Factor Stoppers

“The entire winter they never worked on pitching. First tournament of the season and the coaches didn’t know who could pitch and who couldn’t. The winter “development” consisted of 90% speed and agility training. The coaches didn’t know who could play what positions when the season started (they didn’t do their homework) The winter workouts were an illusion that work was being done. Our coach is a “jv” coach at best. There hasn’t been a strategic bunt called all season. I asked my son what he’s learned from his coaches and he said he hasn’t learned anything new from them at all. The “elite” teams are not impressive. And they gatekeep the stats so you can’t see how biased their selection process really is. It isn’t high level baseball. It’s high priced average baseball at best. Also to add there are no practices during the season, just show up and play tournaments. I’m genuinely taken back when I see people say that the development is good, like where has that been for the last year? This past weekend the organization made the families book a hotel for Thursday to Sunday, come to find out the tournament goes to Monday. Whoops everyone had to scramble to find hotels for the extra day. Poor attention to detail. Great families though, everyone is nice, my son really likes his teammates and the facilities are nice as well. ”

“We love that this program balances a high volume of games with a focus on character and development. The coaches are highly experienced and know how to push the kids competitively without creating a high-pressure environment.”

“Outstanding program. The Stoppers are organized, professional, and extremely well run. The coaches create a positive culture, hold players accountable, and have no tolerance for behavior that detracts from the team's environment. Most importantly, the player development is evident from day one through the end of the season. Kids not only improve their baseball skills but also develop into mentally strong, confident competitors. Highly recommend for families looking for a program that truly puts player development first.”

“Pay attention to how many players are leaving this organization. 80% of my son's team is going somewhere else next year because of the terrible development, coaching and game strategy. They lied about everything, and defended their lies instead of taking accountability. The team was all great kids- They did not deserve this. And the parents' bank accounts did not deserve the almost $4,000 hit they took. ”

“I couldn’t ask for better coaches for my son. It was hard handing him over to another coach after personally coaching him for five years. The demeanor, professionalism and baseball knowledge of coach Newman and his team alleviated any worry I had. We’re honored to be a part of Wow Factor Stoppers and look forward to seeing our son develop here. ”
