The following are a few quotes that we have compiled from coaches expressing their thoughts about previous tournaments that we have hosted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just wanted to touch base with you, The Long Island Bandits 18u will be sending in our application in the morning. Our Student Athletes received more inquiries from colleges as a result of playing in your showcase than any other showcase we attended this year. Four of our girls are going to attend and play ball in college as a direct result of the contacts they made at your showcase. I hope our 2007 team meets your requirements as we would love to attend again this year.

 

"Just wanted to thank you for putting on an excellent event this past weekend.
Our girls had a great time, and we got to play some excellent teams."

"Thank you for including us in the tournament this past weekend.  We certainly felt it was well worth the trip.  Two of your players have peaked our interest---in about one week, when they are no longer juniors, we will be contacting them. "

"I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to meet you Saturday, but I wanted to let you know that I was very impressed with the tournament!  It was really well organized and definitely worth adding to my recruiting schedule!  Thanks for all of your help.  I hope to meet you at some point this summer."

"You did a great job, and thanks for the food coupons it was a nice touch.
One thing for the coaches would be if you can also put the players high
school on the profile sheets. Again great job and I hope to be talking
with you soon."

"Once again great tournament!!  I see a lot of different softball and
basketball tournaments and your is always ran very well!

See you in September."

"Hey Jim, could you make it not as hot next time.  How did the girls hold up?  Glad that the weather held off of you.  I thought you guys did a great job.  Keep it up."

"Great job this past weekend---my only complaint was the heat!  :)     I know it took a lot of work to get this tournament going and I truly hope you plan on doing it again next year.   It was great!   If you could add the athletes high school---to the booklet that would be my only suggestion.  I don't know if you can make room for that or not.    Where is your team playing the rest of this summer?   You have some talented athletes--and I hope they choose to add us to their list when they visit college campuses."

"Just wanted to thank you for your hospitality this weekend.  You guys put on a great tournament!  Thank you."
 

"Thanks to you all as well. We had a great experience, the facility was beautiful and the fields well cared for...three of the more important things we look for. I was well impressed with how smoothly things went, a credit to all of you."

"My daughter played in your tournament on 6/11 & 12.  First I want to say that this was one of the best tournaments I've seen, you guys did a great job and you have a great facility."
