TESTIMONIALS
PARENTS OF CAM NELSON- WAKE FOREST COMMIT
“First Year PDG Academy exceeded our expectations and experience for our son. We were pleased with online curriculum through Ogburn School , teachers and the support given by PDG advisor and staff in making sure our student athlete was successful. Coaching staff and facilities were top notch and knowledgeable about every aspect of the game. Helped with the mental as well as the physical development. Pro level training followed by high level competition followed by pro level instructions. In short PDG coaches and staff provided a great environment for baseball development.”
PARENTS OF ELLIS WINDHEIM- LONGWOOD COMMIT
“PDG was a great post-grad year for Ellis. We feel that he is more prepared for college academically and for D1 baseball. The opportunity to live in an apartment with other players allowed just enough independence to mature and will definitely give him a step up on a college campus. A large amount of (very obvious) physical growth, and mental maturity, occurred thanks to the training regimens, quality coaching and high-level competition. Working alongside other D1 players instilled the desire to train and compete at a higher level, something that’s become second nature now. There was value in Ellis’ ability to talk with his coaches as needed and we know he developed lasting relationships with many of the players that he will continue to stay friends with and compete against. Thank you to Coach Burke, Jeff Petty, Coach Maddie and all of the great training coaches Ellis learned from at PDG.”
