Nick,
Thank you very much for having us at the RCYC complex. It seems to be a really nice place to play. We have some good players on our team.
All of their high school statistics are available on the PSAL website www.psal.org
If there is any way that I can help you please let me know. I was looking around on your website and was very impressed with the work you have done in such a short time. I have always felt that this is what sandlot baseball has needed. A place for student/athletes to play. That is very important as these young men go forward.
Have a great winter and lots of good health to you and your family.

Just wanted to say thank you. My son (Ted) enjoyed the workout this Saturday. Although he was younger(Ted's in 8 th grade) then most of the boys there, everyone treated him as an equal, gave him honest and helpful feedback and made him feel comfortable.
RCY complex is very nice, all of the coaches and people were accessible and easy to talk with , making for a good overall experience. Keep up the good work you're doing there.
Thanks again

Hi Coach,
I don't usually do this, but your last e-mail to your players compelled me to respond and say I hope you realize you are equally appreciated, just as much as you seem to appreciate your organization. Your praise your players, your coaches and even take time out to praise the parents (which is a new one on me).
His last coach almost had Mitch convinced he was done with baseball. This gentleman (and I use the term loosely), told him he would never be an infielder, not with his club anyway, and had better start looking for something else to do. In a way, maybe he did Mitch a favor. Because now he's tougher and more determined than ever. At any rate, I have never seen him happier with a ball club even when it's pouring rain. And right now...that's good enough for me!
So hats off to ya Nick, and best of luck to you and the RC organization. We look forward to being a part of it.
Take Care,

Nick, just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for having us at your tournament this weekend. I am passing your e-mail address out to other organizations that may be interested in some of you different age group tournaments. I hope the tournament finished up well and I look forward to hopefully being invited back for next year.

Dear Coach DeFendis,
Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for the tremendous job that
you and your staff did for my fifteen year-old son Walker this
winter. These workouts were extremely valuable as a way to him to
prepare for and focus on the upcoming spring and summer seasons. He
got great instruction as a young catcher in particular and as a
player in general. I was impressed by your level of organization and
professionalism from the very first clinic.
Thanks again and have a great season.
Regards,
Colin Harrison

Dear Nick,
I am writing this to tell you how much my son Robbie and the rest of the boys from Berkeley Carroll and the Sea Dawgs appreciate the professionalism coming from you and the RC staff. Your knowledge, organization skills and plan of action are second to none. My players are excited each Sunday to work on their skills and conditioning knowing that nearby, a coach will be there to give out tips and inspire them to do better. We are a serious group striving to continue developing as students and ballplayers.
Although I have been a college coach, I was impressed with the program on recruiting put together by you and Coach Lopiparo.
It is never too early to look at the importance of how to go about marketing one self to coaches and programs.
I look forward to the remaining two weeks of the program and also, having you as a resource to go to to assist in advising Robbie when the time comes for him to choose a school.
Sincerely,
Walter Paller

Nick,
Thanks for everything this week. It was a great tournament. I can appreciate all the hard work that it takes to run such an event. One thing that I would like for you to share with your squad, winning and acting like champions can be easy. Losing and acting like a champion is very difficult, it shows great character and respect that is learned from coaches and parents who are teaching the right things. Especially when you leave everything on the field the way we both did on Sunday. You know that I have been on both ends. I really enjoyed being up there the entire week. I may try to slip down during the 17U tourney, but hopefully I will be busy at Troy. One thing we are and that is game ready. Thanks to a hard fought Sunday. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Thanks again,
Tommy Gambino

Dear Coach Nick,
I just wanted to thank you for mentioning my name to Coach Hill of Rutgers. I received an e-mail earlier this week from him saying that he spoke with you. Best wishes to you and your family for a happy holiday season and a happy New Year. I will see you at CSI for our next workout.
Sincerely,
Tyler Brown

Good seeing you yesterday. It was a pleasure being at the RCY complex. I'm sure it will continue to become one of the finest on the East Coast.

Thank You
Hi Coach DeFendis,
Me and my father just wanted to thank you for everything. Thank you for being so gracious to us and taking out extra time to teach me. Your camp was very fun and I tried to take advantage of every minute. It helped me to get in shape and to become a better ball player. I am a serious ball player and the speech that Mike Lopiparo recited made me think about how much I have to improve as the years go on. Even though I left early, I read the rest of the pamphlet at home. It made me consider that I always have to work hard to achieve my goals, not only in baseball, but in life too. I know that there is always someone out there looking to take my spot. We just want to thank you again for the great opportunity you gave us. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Thomas Midolo (A.K.A. Tommy Bug, Jr.)
PS My dad didn't get to say good-bye too you on Saturday because we had to run for a basketball game.

Thank You
Nick
I just wanted to thank you for the continued support and advice you give to my boys.
Michael Jr. and I had a long talk today. He told me that you noticed his progress and it meant so much to him. I talk to young men involved in sports every day. For every hug, word of encouragement, correction, and genuine interest you provide for the boys that God places in your path you contribute to their future what God has gifted you to do. You are always in my prayers. May God bless you and your beautiful family abundantly.

Thank You
Coach DeFendis and Coach Pellegrino have done more for my son, Frank, in one month, than his high school j.v. and varsity coaches did for him in 4 years. I thank them for bringing out the very best in Frank. sincerely, Louis Di Masi
