I’ll say it again, so glad we made this move to the NJ Vipers! The girls play great together. Although they stumble, they pick themselves up and keep going strong!!!! They worked so well and hard together today and won both games and the fact that Bobby (owner of the organization) shows up and supports his organization at yesterday’s tournament <blows my mind! It was awesome to see him present! Thanks again to our coaches also as they are bringing out the best in each and every one of these girls! Go Vipers!

“I like the support from top to bottom no matter which coach comes to help at any level, they all invest in the kids.”

“Communication is great”

“In the beginning, practices were more a verbalization to players in situations that may occur in live play. I was hoping it would be players doing mock plays instead of just verbalizing to girls what to do and that IS being done as practices went on. Some players learn well visuals than verbal. It does benefit players. The practices more than one a week, a plus. “

“Build self confidence in the girls throughout the organization”

“Organizational communication. Really like the winter workouts.”

“Hi! Just wanted to send over a quick note and say how pleased we are with the off-season work, sessions offered, and time that has gone into our girls this winter! Between the first tourney of the season, and first 2 rec games this week, we have seen incredible progress. It’s evident that her coaches and the Vipers organization have helped her grow into the confident and strong athlete she is and is becoming! As a first season player, we were not sure what to expect, and were looking forward to the start of the season for months…and it did NOT disappoint! We are so impressed with this program and how it has helped develop (our daughter’s) skills. She looks totally different on the field than she did when she started with the Vipers this pas fall. Thank you for helping instill confidence in her, and for helping her grow as an athlete!”

On why our player missed a town travel event to attend a Viper practice. Here is how the parent described the conversation:

“She needed to be with family to feel better about her game. The fact one of the alumni coaches were there and highlighted something made her very happy and the trip worth it. That is what we offer…community and a sense of belonging!”

“I have to say, I was a little leary going into the (Pitching & Defense) meeting, but boy was I wrong! As I’ve said, I have a son who has been in travel (“club”) and has played on 3 teams now under 5-7 different coaches. Across these years and programs, not a single organization leader has brought the members together for any reason, let alone to share their “special sauce,” if you will, in terms of how to approach games and more specifically individual batters/plays.
I came away feeling so validated and inspired in our decision to become part of a Viper Family. The ROI we get all around is truly unparalleled!”

We went to our 2nd college showcase camp yesterday in Morristown, NJ. There were AM & PM sessions with Q&A. DI-D3 schools. All of the coaches there reiterated what you have been telling the girls for years; that attitude & sportsmanship can make or break a college offer.
The coaches have walked away from amazing athletes because they did not like their on-field interactions. They also touched on many other things that The Vipers discussed in last year’s Alumni Q&A.
I am confident we are part of a great softball organization and so happy we have amazing coaches.”

We absolutely LOVE our Viper gear from the Pop-Up Store. Thank you so much! December, 2024

“Vipers really make the player and parents feel as a family. Good competition in tournaments. Great recurring activities (batting practices, specialized sessions) to help the player along with development.”

As a parent you have to realize it’s not all about your child getting a softball scholarship into a big time school, it’s about them playing a game they love. Learning to be part of a team, learning the game the right way and most importantly making life long memories and great friends. The Vipers organization exemplifies that.

I’ll say it again, we are so glad we made this move to the NJ Vipers!

I wanted to tell you that (my daughter) loves the team and the organization. The girls and the coaches are great. She made me order a bunch of stuff from the team store tonight!

– October, 2024

1st and foremost thank you for allowing my daughter to be a part of your program. She loves the coaches and everything else the program encompasses. As a Dad that’s all I can ask for. As a former athlete I am very comfortable and believe in everything I see and hear. She is a Viper and it’s all she talks about. So again, much gratitude to you and the Viper organization.

“I love how it’s not “do as I say” but a do as I do” and everyone from the top down contributes. I think it’s FANTASTIC that Bobby leads by example and rolls his sleeves up. With most other organizations, you don’t see this. It’s noticeable and shows complete desire to have the girls get better.”

“Camaraderie of the girls is phenomenal. I also like the fact that the tournaments are not too far away. I appreciate the additional facility opportunities to practice & also the hitting practice. “

“Promotion, very good at getting the name out there and being known in the area. Offerings for extra practices and workouts have been abundant. Securing spaces to run practices and clinics. Promoting a next level mindset. “

“Flexibility. One of the things that had scared us away from club experience was rigidity in schedule and backlash against conflicts. I think the Vipers get it. The Vipers are preparing the girls for life inside and outside of the diamond. Quite honestly, the commitment of Bob “

“I will stand up and swear in open court that the Viper organization has made all the difference in (my daughter’s) softball life. You make the kids want to play the game and want to play it well.

love the game and it will love you back”
