“When I came to Diamond Dreams I was
86-87 velocity wise, through hard work on Diamond Dreams core
program, in 3 months I have exceeded my goal of 90 mph by hitting
91mph on the radar gun, and signed a professional contract to play
for the River City Rascals in the Frontier League.” - Mike

“My son has been in the organization
for four years. Every year I have seen mass improvements in all
areas of the program. The most improvements has been in the areas
of strength, conditioning and speed. Being a father it is
wonderful to see when a program works. I have watched my son who
is now 13 grow in size and strength. His speed has increased. All
of these things directly come from the training he has received at
this facility with the instructors. They have always looked for
new and improved ways to make all of the areas better. The staff
does not just sit on their hands and say this is good enough, they
always say what can we do better to make the kids better. To me it
not just business, it’s personal. That is very refreshing in this
day in time.” - Mike Wyatt
“What can I say about the program at
Diamond Dreams? The answer I’m not sure words can tell you how
happy I am that my boys are members. I have two sons, 15 and 12
years old, who are as different as boys can be. The older is a
workaholic when it comes to baseball, the younger puts in the work
he thinks he can get away with. The reason I describe the two is
to say at Diamond Dreams you get what you put into the program.
I coach my sons for years thinking I can help make them better
players while I did the best I could when my oldest son turned 13
it was apparent that my knowledge had reached its limit. I brought
him into the Diamond Dreams family and that along with his work
ethic has made him better then I could have ever dreamed. As I
watch him grow as a player and as a young man I know because of
the instruction he receives at Diamond Dreams he will reach his
dream of one day playing baseball at the college level.
Not every kid wants to work 5-6 days a week all year round to be a
better player though. My youngest son goes to the facility 2-3
time a week. I will tell you that even working at this pace his
development has gone far beyond what I could have done for him.
And because of that he is starting to work harder. He works harder
because he wants to not because I want him to. The success the
kids have after working here doesn’t go to their heads it seems to
make them want to continue to do better, not just in baseball but
in school and life.
Lastly, as a coach I have learned so much myself by watching as my
kids are being taught. It has made me a much better coach. When I
take the knowledge I have absorbed at Diamond Dreams it not only
helps me with my kids but every kid I will coach in the future. As
I said in the beginning words alone can not express how grateful I
am that my kids are a part of the Diamond Dreams Family.” -

“When our family first toured the
unfinished Diamond Dreams facility in the summer of 2006 we had no
idea what an integral part of our lives it would soon become. We
initially brought our 10 year old son to Diamond Dreams for
specialized training in baseball but soon realized that it was the
perfect place for our 14 year old son to increase his fitness and
agility in travel soccer. What we have found at Diamond Dreams has
far exceeded anything we ever expected. The entire staff is
friendly professional and very knowledge able about every aspect
of training. They have provided our sons with a level of training
that we have not found anywhere else. The quality training at
Diamond Dreams is evident in the man older players that interact
with and mentor the younger players. Overall ewe feel that our
sons as well as our entire family have benefited greatly from the
friendships they have made and the skilled training they have
received at Diamond Dreams” - Dana Williams
“We first head about the Diamond
Dreams organization in July of 2006. Joshua was player and I was a
coach with a travel baseball teams out of Milford, DE. The other
coaches and I became concerned that we would not be able to take
out players to the next level of baseball.
In October of 2006, I enrolled Joshua in the hitting and pitching
program at Diamond Dreams. Immediately my wife and I realized the
high level of expertise of the staff. We as parents were amazed at
the rapid improvement in Joshua’s knowledge and ability related to
playing the game of baseball. He was not only taught to do things
properly, but he was also taught to think about the game properly.
Josh performed much better with his school team; and because some
of this team mates were also enrolled in the program the school
team had their first undefeated season!
Joshua pushes up to bring him to the Diamond Dreams facility as
often as possible (an hour drive 3 to 4 times a week). The entire
family really enjoy making the trip down. Seeing Joshua grow and
for me to be able to continuously learn more about the game is
exciting.
Joshua is now a player for one of the Diamond Dreams teams. His
love and excitement for the game is constantly nourished by the
entire staff of coaches and trainers. As a family we would not
trade this experience for anything.
Thank you Diamond Dreams for making a difference” - Jason James
“Jamie Evans noticed a weakness in
Dallas’ pitching and batting mechanics due to weak abs. This
program has enabled Dallas to effectively strengthen his abs. It
seems like magic yet we all agree Dallas’ hard work along with
Diamond Dreams’ direction has improved all his strength. Through
this program and a strong core it makes improvement come so much
easier. Thanks for the opportunity” – Michael Harrington
