Grand Slam Tournament Coach's Comments
<b>Larry, just a note to say thanks for outdoing yourself again on the Grand
Slam Session II this year. Good teams and an Opening Ceremonies to be proud
of. The weather was tough as we all know but could not be helped. We look
forward to coming back again next year as 13's to defend our back to back
Championships. What a great place to play! Rusty Ford Texas Tide
Larry,
First of all we had a great time playing in the World Series last week. As a coach of the 14-U DCB Tar Heels, I think the experience that our players had will be a good one. When the weather moved in on Saturday we were disappointed of course but still had a great time. I (we) would like to know if there is any way to access the pictures of our players since weather canceled all of the events? If so let me know and I will pass the info on to all of our parents. Once again thanks for a great time!

Gentleman, I just wanted to thank you for the way in which you conduct your organization. This year was our first real experience with travel ball. To have the coaches we do teamed with Grand Slam was a blessing to our family. As parents we appreciate your willingness to always stress to the boys the importance of enjoying the game and to always remind us that this time is so brief. I'm sure in your line of work, you are presented with all types of personalities. While that may be quite frustrating at times, just remember you are making a difference.
Many thanks.

Larry,
This was our first tournament with you and I want to compliment you and your staff for a well run tournament in Cordele this past weekend. Particularly, the umpires were the best we’ve had this year. We didn’t agree with every call, but they were consistent with both teams and from inning to inning… If we had a question, they were respectful and allowed us to ask it and then they answered with the same respect.
Just like many of us coaches, you probably here more about the problems than the good, so I wanted to pass along my comments.
We plan to play with you again in Cordele in June.
Again, great tournament…

Hello once again! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated you working with us this past weekend. When it comes to tournament directors, you are the best by far. You are always more than willing to listen to concerns but more importantly making each and every one of your tournaments the best experience possible for the players and coaches alike. Grand Slam is truly the way to go when you want to experience good baseball in a great environment. Thanks for everything!

Thanks for a great weekend. We had a good time. The umpires were consistent and did a good job and we always enjoy Panama City. Also, a special thanks for handling the scheduling conflicts with our coach and our players. We appreciate your hard work.

Thanks again for a wonderful tournament. Without question, this was the best officiated tournament we have ever played in. The two on field 8 were outstanding and the championship game was equally well officiated. You really outdid yourself this time. Thanks for a wonderful weekend filled with great memories.
