Little Rookies T-Ball School

Coach Kurtis loves what he does and it shows; he has a great approach to teaching kids the fundamentals of baseball, setting up drills/​stations at each practice, using great equipment and then reinforcing those skills in a «game.» And most important of all making sure the kids have fun!

This camp is geared for beginners. IT is mostly a baseball camp and they do a great job with that. As for softball, It would be okay for girls age 5 and under and for those who have never played softball. Coach Kurtis responds promptly to concerns and the organization is super kid friendly.

Kurtis is like the Pied Piper for kids. They love him. Unfortunately, he is also dishonest and cannot be trusted to pay people who have worked for him. He will accept their work, knowing full well that he has no money in his account or the account is closed. He promises to pay but then does not answer emails or phone calls. If you work for him, get him to pay cash up front or take your chances.

I’ve played organized ball for 15+ years, but didn’t know where to start coaching my own 4 year old son. Coach Curtis and his staff are the REAL DEAL. Everything is organized, set up before you arrive and the coaches run through the drills quickly and effectively to keep the kids interested. I’m amazed with what he could get these little guys to do in just a couple of sessions (4 year old kids hitting off pitching machines!) He knows baseball, he knows what these kids can achieve and he knows how to make them respond. If you join a T-​Ball team with volunteer coaches you are probably wasting your kid’s time.

We’ve been involved with Coach Kurtis’ Little Rookies T-​ball since before our son turned 4, and have had an awesome experience. The instruction is A+, both by Coach K himself and all of his Staff and crew (we love Coach Jada!). Nothing but positive things to say. If you have thought about getting your child involved in baseball, and want real, professional and meaningful instruction, than this is the program for you.

Do not do business with Coach Kurtis. I stuffed hundreds of envelops for him and he never paid. His t-​ball program may be fine, but I would never let my kid be with someone without morals!

Our son has attended Little Rookies Tball school for about a year and a half now (this is our 4^th session — 8 weeks each time). When our son first started he was was a little young (3.5) and had a hard time staying focused and waiting his turn, but now at age 5 he’s doing really well and asked me to sign him up again. It’s really fun to see him «getting it» and having fun playing — he’s still a beginner, but his skills are developing and most importantly, he enjoys the game! Coach Curtis is a great coach! And so are the other coaches he has working with him. I used to teach Kindergarten and it amazes me how much patience the coaches have with these little ones! It can be a little chaotic at times (mainly when changing stations), but it is done well considering the age of the kids — have you ever tried to herd cats!!! What I really love about this program, in addition to the coaches, is that its run in stations to teach the fundamentals of the game and then every 4^th week they play an actual game to put it all together. I highly recommend this program!

Do not do business with Coach Kurtis. I own a print shop and worked with him a few times over the years, he wrote me a check on a closed account, does not return emails or phone calls, and never holds up his end of the bargain. I printed a rush job for him with the promise of paying cash and I am still waiting 3 months later, and I’m not the only one he has done this to.

Boys had a great time with coach Curtis and his staff. We highly recommend it. Check out his website for more dates.
