After coaching my son for over 10 years, I decided it was time to let someone else guide him the rest of the way. I couldn't have picked a better organization then Empire. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and understanding of each players needs and strive to do the best for the team at all times. They still keep up with all of their players that have been able to continue to play baseball at a higher level. Drew, Kevin and the rest of the coaches are great mentors to the players. Way to go Empire!

Buyer beware! My son was on the 13u team and we decided to cut our losses and leave 3/4ths of the way through this season (fall 2020). This organization will make big promises during the tryout about how they are here to develop players but take no interest in actually doing so. Which I completely expected at $1,350 and that doesn’t include the gate fees, so add another $20 per tournament. I didn’t even receive the practice shorts that they promised. During the entire fall season there were only 6 total times that they had an actual baseball field set up to practice on. The only thing this organization had set up was an optional 30 minute long toss (in a free county park) set up once a week where literally only 2 kids ever showed up (once the time changed this stopped due to no light) and an indoor batting once a week. At three weeks in this team had no field practice yet and only one field practice prior to the first tournament. During the tournaments the assistant coach left after the first game every Saturday, with his son who was also on the team, because they were playing football. I could maybe understand this from another parent/kid who weren’t coaching but completely unacceptable as a coach. On top of that this team never had enough players already and had to get at least 2-3 guest players every tournament. On one occasion the head coach was out of town and one of the owners was filling in and showed up 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. I tried on several occasions to contact the owner (Drew) of Empire to discuss my issues and frustrations and possibly try to come up with some solutions. The owner would never answer my call, and would text saying he would call back but never would. This place is a scam and only care about taking your money. Please feel free to message me if you want more details.

I played for empire baseball for 2 seasons and have nothing but positive things to say. I truly love every single one of the coaches here and can proudly say that they’re one of the best travel organizations around. They not only helped me develop as a player but as a man as well and I am forever grateful for my time with them. Would recommend this organization to anyone who’s looking for a fun place to play baseball with great coaches and teammates.

I’ve played for this organization for 2 years and by far the best team I’ve ever played for. The coaches look after their players and make sure we are prepare to play at the next level. Coaches have great communication as well. The coaches treat their players like family.
