Hi Shawn, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you guys put into the kids
and also built his confidence going into his final Varsity season at Goffstown.
Although he has not commited to a College yet he has been in contact with several
, and the showcase website has helped these coaches to stay updated on his
progress.
Again Thank you the showcase is one of the better leagues that he has played in.

Mike,
First I would like to extend my thanks to you, Shawn, and the rest of Granite State
Association for the incredible job you do. I think out of all the baseball teams Nick
plays on, he loves the Showcase the best. You guys seem to go above and
beyond to get the best for these kids...I know we could invest thousands of dollars
(money that we really don't have) through various showcases and recruiters to
promote Nick, but would not get the same personal interest that you and Shawn
invest in these players.

Hi Mr. Manfredo,
We just wanted to thank you for everything....this was not only a great experience
for PJ (and great exposure), but it was alot of fun for all of us.
PJ and his younger brother Jeff have been playing baseball since they were about
3 yrs old - we've played AAU and done alot of traveling over the
years (Jeff is still playing AAU - year # 6 between the 2 of them). We've had so
many great experiences and alot of fun. It has kept my family
very close and well bonded. While playing on this league, we've been getting alot
of emails from college coaches and I can't tell you how much
this means to PJ. He understands that education comes first, and baseball is a
bonus - but I don't think in good conscience we could send him
to a school where he couldn't play baseball, so we're hoping for the best of both
worlds.
Playing on this team and with your organization was like the icing on the cake. I
know you put alot of time and effort into this - and it shows.
Again, we really just wanted to thank you and let you know how much we
appreciate everything you have done for PJ. I'm hoping in a couple of years
my younger son will be able to play as well.

Ever since the fall league concluded I had been meaning to contact you to thank
you for the excellent job you guys do organizing and running the program. Nick had
a great time playing in the league and we know you put his name out there to
college coaches and had promoted him as a good collegiate prospect.
Your program does so much more than most other programs that claim to get
players noticed and in front of college coaches. Nick received several calls and
letters from college coaches. We never saw that level of interest after attending any
expensive showcase.
Nick had been contacted last June by the Baseball coach of the US Merchant
Marine Academy in Kings Point NY. They are a Div 3 team and play in the
Landmark Conference. After listening to all the wonderful opportunities that
academy students experience as well as a full 4 year scholarship and the fact that
the Mariner Baseball team is graduating all three of their catchers, Nick will have
an excellent chance to start behind the plate or at 3rd as a freshman. The coach
has really made Nick feel wanted and continues to talk with him on a regular
basis. Nick feels that he couldn't have found a better fit and accepted in Dec. He is
really excited about playing for the Mariner's.
We wish you continued success with your program and will feel good referring
your program to other NH players and families.

Hats off to you and your staff for organizing and running the GSBA Showcase
League. This is the best quality baseball my boys have ever played in,
including AAU, high school, and legion. I loved just sitting there and
watching the games, especially the quality of the pitching.
Ryan loved playing in this league. He had a great time playing with such
high caliber teammates and opponents, and at such good colleges and ball
parks. He made friends with excellent baseball players from different high
schools that he would never have had an opportunity to meet. He talks about
it constantly, and can't wait until next season starts.
The competitiveness of this league certainly raised his level of play and
gave him the desire to work harder for next season. The coaching,
instruction, and practices with such high quality teammates improves
everyone’s game. Plus the extra clinics you run for the players, such as
Colin Lynch’s pitching clinic, are a fantastic opportunity for all the
players.
Also, let’s not forget the main purpose of your league. The exposure for
the players to so many colleges and coaches from D1, D2, and D3 programs is
such a great opportunity. It’s so important, because the boys actually
start thinking about college, which is a bonus for us parents of the boys of
summer.
You guys have really done a lot for baseball in NH.
