Jacob Encarnacion Danbury High School Varsity as a Freshman!

"Our times with the Captains were some of the best baseball memories we have … for him as a player and for us as a family. I’m so glad we found a place on your team that felt safe, fun and full of growth."

Connor Brennan Ridgefield High School Varsity as a Freshman!

"Hi coach! I just want to take the time to personally thank you, Rory, and Billy for helping prepare Connor for an amazing four years at RHS. Your words were most appreciated.

You need to know how much we loved and appreciated our time and opportunity with The Captains to this day. We found all those defensive drills, running drills, fundamentals (cut offs, coverages, and tournaments) to be instrumental for Connor’s development. He became the everyday starting CF his freshman year through senior year because of it. He maintained lifelong Captains friendships and countless memories from the Captains. Also countless laughs!

You and Rory are so passionate about baseball and trickled down to every kid who played for you guys. If you did not love baseball, then the Captains was not the place for you. 

By the way, how important were you and Rory? Our varsity team had Connor, Tio, Dotterer, Couch, Hertwig, Sementilli. A third of our team were former Captains! 

Thank you! It takes a village. Connor did not get All FCIAC by himself. He had to learn, he had to hit bottom, drill endlessly all the way up, and learn from mistakes to grow. 

Our gratitude, Rich!

We will always love The Captains!"

"We did a lot of research when looking for a team.  The Captains became the obvious choice.  They strike the absolute perfect balance between high level instruction and competition and truly caring about the athletes in their charge.  And I mean truly care…not just about baseball…their lives, their well-being. My son has thrived there and wouldn’t leave for anything.  His development has been exponential."

 "Gratitude for all you and your Captains coaches do!  My son Connor absolutely loves the Captains!  He loves his coaches and teammates!  I think he owns every official piece of swag!"

 "My son Craig came home today from Captains practice and is pumped!  He is having a blast!!"

 "My son joined the Captains this fall and he is soaring.  The coaches are supportive, firm, knowledgeable, and they celebrate the boys positives and work on the areas that need work.  They use effective methods to develop the boys, meeting each player's individual skill level.  I was so impressed to watch a pitcher come off the mound and to see one of the coaches pull him aside for a mini pitching lesson so the learning happened immediately after the plays were made.  

We are thrilled to have our son enjoying baseball on every level with the Captains!!"

 "We’ve been part of the Captains for a few years. Our son has gained a better knowledge of the game; learned new positions; learned how to deal with adversity and be a team player."

 "Dedicated and compassionate coaches provided my son a great experience.  This highly competitive team and experienced coaches was exactly what my son needed to take his game to the next level.  My son truly found his baseball home and looks forward to playing with the team for years to come."

"Meyer can't wait to play for the Captains again and wear that uniform.  This was a terrific season and Meyer enjoyed every aspect of your team.  Can't wait for things to start up again and thank you for letting Meyer be a part of this great organization."
