NHPLL Golf Pros at it again!!!!

Posted by Mike Colletta at Jun 5, 2017 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

For those who have seen Mike Colletta pitch to the Farms players, watching him hit a golf ball is also quite an experience.  Keith Delmar and Mike Avallone couldn't quite figure out why he would turn almost 90 degrees to the direction of the flag until they saw how wicked his slice is.  John Cutter of course spent time commenting to "Hairy" about this particular skill when he got to witness this change of direction from an adjacent hole.  Mr. Cutter probably thought Mr. Colletta was aiming at him, but of course, John knew there is NO WAY Mike could hit him.  John has seen Mike pitch during the batting cage clinics.

Posted by Mike Colletta at Jan 2, 2017 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
To all,
 
The winter clinic begins on January 4th and will run until April 12th. Please see the schedule below. We have had a number of kids sign up, but there is still spots available for each age level. Just show up at the gym at the time for your son's age group.
 
Reminder: To participate in the winter clinic you must be signed up for spring baseball to be covered by insurance.
 
Farms - 7-8 Minors 9-10 Majors 11-12.  The cost will be $20.00 for entire length of the clinic. 
 
Sign ups will be on a first come first serve basis.  We have to limit the size to approximately 20 kids per session otherwise no one gets any training.
 
Each age group will get a minimum of five (5) sessions in the Road School gym on Wednesday nights.  The schedule is listed below for each of the division.  Please have the boys bring their gloves, bat and helmet to each clinic session.
 
                    Farms                            Minors                                 Majors

The primary coaches for the clinic sessions will be FARMS: Mike Colletta, MINORS: Phil Binaso/John Cutter, MAJORS John Cutter/Phil Binaso
 
As you can see the boys Farms have been given the early time slot for each of their sessions due to their group being the youngest.  The Minors will be splitting time slots, so make sure you check each week to make sure they come at the appropriate time.  The boys Majors were given the later time slot as they are the oldest group of boys coming to the clinic.  
 
I promise you the boys at every age group will get a good workout, and will learn more about the game.  The group sizes will be kept to a manageable number, and every child will get help in all areas of the game, as well as have a little fun.   
 
A few rules for the Road School, No children will be allowed in the hallways by themselves.  We have had a few issues in the past that the school has spoken to us about regarding messes being made in the bathrooms, etc.  We do not want to lose the privilege of using the Road School gym so please talk to your children and make sure they understand this rule.  The only other rule is to come and have fun.
 
Any questions don't hesitate to reach out to me via email or my cell phone.
 
Thank you,

The Farms version of the Big Red Machine

I don't think anyone is confusing the 1976 Cincinnati Reds with the 2016 New Hyde Park Funeral Home squad. image
