TESTIMONIALS

I’ve been working with Backstop Bandits and Turner for a little bit now and I have seen my game grow a ton. Learning new techniques and getting better all around. Having my highschool umpires tell me I look so much better than last season. This has been huge for my game and skill. Also gaining so much knowledge.

We…can’t say enough good things about the training and experience we’ve had. Turner has been great working with our son and we have definitely seen an improvement in his skill since he started working with Turner. We look forward to seeing what skills and drills Turner has planned for each training and our son is always excited for his sessions and can’t stop talking about what he has learned and how great he thinks Turner is. Turner is not only providing great training to these players but he is also giving many of them an excellent role model to look up to. We won’t hesitate to recommend Turner and any Backstop Bandits training or camp to anyone we know…

BB has helped my son not only learn the mechanics of catching, but also the mental approach and physical preparation necessary to play at a higher level. His blocking and receiving skills are noticeably better!

My sons have been well coached and mentored by the coaching staff of the Bandits. I would recommend a camp by the Bandits to any friends or family that have a young catcher. Turner and his coaches have been instrumental [in] providing confidence with technique and in my sons’ abilities as catchers.
