Thanks for getting the word out Chevy. You can contact us at tripleplayteamcenter@yahoo.com
We hope to be an asset to the communities around the area. We are available for just about any sport where you need some space. Initially we are going to concentrate on baseball and softball to help everyone get ready for the season. We hope to have 10u and 12u baseball and 10u and 12u softball 6 vs 6 league up and running on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in March.
Our first big event though will be a couple of high school softball 6 vs 6 tournaments. We will run a 3 day event Feb 14, 15, and 16 as long as everything goes as planned in the next few days. Our second High school softball tourney will be Feb 22 and March 1.
We are also going to be offering beginning fastpitch softball lessons in Feb.
I realize that this is a discussion board and not an advertising forum so I will let it go at that.
Thanks
Eric

I know those places in the big cities charge $60 to $75 for lessons from old high school coaches. It will be nice to have something a little more affordable in the area.
I've got three young ones that would love a place like this. I know a lot of people have talked about putting something like this together, but nothing ever got done. Hope all goes well, especially in this economy!

1st off,


As far as your 'advertising', I'm fairly sure RM won't mind you getting the word out here in this thread, but it may be more beneficial to you to contact RM and see about taking an ad out at the top of the forums...I think it's only 25.00 a mo..I'm only offering that up as a suggestion, because I think you'd reach more ppl overall..... If you would be interested, you can contact him at eltonjohnisrocketman@yahoo.com , as I'm not up on all the particulars of that.
And thanks to chevy, once again for keeping us updated & informed!

Happy posting, 66stang!

Thanks for asking. Again, I do not wish to overstep and use this for advertising.
My wife and I are from the Lima area, originally, and now live nearer to Columbus. I have been involved with youth sports for over twenty years. I am currently an OHSAA certified Baseball/ Softball umpire and have been an OHSAA Basketball referee in the past.
I have been a softball /baseball coach for 18+ years. I have coached both High School and Middle School sports. I have coached high school softball and baseball and middle school basketball, soccer, softball, and baseball.
I founded our schools middle school softball program. I have also coached summer baseball and softball travel teams, which have played throughout the state.
I have 4 children, 3 girls and a son. Two of my daughters have graduated from high school. Both were 4 year starters/ letter winners for their high school and were recruited to play College softball. One was a four year starter as a pitcher and all league/ district several times. She has played across the U.S. My oldest was a 4 year starter as a catcher and was all league. My two youngest are currently Seniors in High School. My son is a 2 year letter winner and is being recuited by several universities for baseball and wrestling. IF he makes the state tournament in wrestling we may be closed that day!!!!!! My daughter who is a senior, pitched every inningg of every game for her high school last year. She was, I believe,( I would have to double check, it could have been with a week to go), in the top 5 in strikeouts for the central district. Much to my delight/dismay, she is also an award winning artist, and may not play this year. She was one of the top forty in the state in the Govenors Cup, and is looking at focussing on art in college.
I guess maybe that is part of why I decided to do this, my kids are moving on but I am not ready to quit!
We fully intend to keep everything very affordable, as we hope to see you more than once. No way would we charge $70 for a lesson. We are looking at half that! We are very open to working with the local coaches and by no means want to contradict anything they are teaching. We have invested in two profesional machines and will also have an intermediate and beginners machines, so we will be able to help everyone improve.
Eric
