Coach Duarte,
I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done to improve my son’s catching skills. Your academy has not only been a fun place for him to learn and improve, but has also been well worth the money. In the 8+ years that Kevin has been a catcher, he has never had such a great environment for learning the skills required. I just wish you were around years ago, doing this!
I would reccomend NLCA to anyone who is, or wants to be a catcher.
