RBI Testimonials

"The RBI baseball facility has been a valuable resource for the development of the Stonehill College baseball program. Working in conjunction with RBI has given our program the best indoor baseball resource in the area. We are able to train with and receive instruction from the top baseball personnel in New England. Our first game each year is played the first week of March in Florida and being a college from the Northeast, it is usually very tough to practice outside before that first game. Due largely in part to the great facilities at RBI, we are able to perform at the highest level and are prepared to compete on the national level.”

"Paul Rappoli and his staff at RBI Academy have always been a pleasure to work with and are a terrific resource for our program. The RBI facility is perfect for team and individual use, and we have always been able to have quality indoor practice opportunities. Through his knowledge of the game and needs of the New England athlete, the teaching of proper mechanics and fundamentals, and a high energy staff and approach, Paul has found a way to make indoor baseball practice functional, productive, and enjoyable for anyone who wants to become a better baseball player."

"RBI Academy is the winter "home" of the New England Ruffnecks baseball program for good reason. The well lit, clean, and spacious facilities are first-rate. The RBI cages, bullpens, and accessories are designed to support the serious baseball player as well as the beginner. These facilites enable Ruffnecks teams from 11 years old to 18 years old to run efficient, professional practices during the winter. In addition to our team practices, many of our players use the RBI facilities on their own. They have personal memberships or take lessons with the RBI instructors, all of whom know developmental baseball. RBI Academy is the perfect complement for a highly competitive travel baseball program. There is truly no better professional facility in the region."

Director of New England Ruffnecks AAU Program

 

"I have been to several indoor facilities and RBI Academy has the edge on all of them. There staff is thoughtful as well as knowledgeable. My sons have made great strides over the last two seasons using all that RBI has to offer. Whether it be private lessons with there state of the art equipment or there clinics that simplify the game of baseball, I would never hesitate to recommend RBI Academy. Thanks RBI."

“My three children have been going to RBI since the day it opened and I believe you won't find a more knowledgeable staff or professionally run facility in the region. Before RBI, we'd been to many baseball training facilities looking for that 'something extra'. We finally found it at RBI. The staff's philosophy and approach to developing players is expertly matched to the player's ability and baseball goals. We couldn't be more pleased with the progress our children have made on the diamond since becoming members of RBI."

“I spend my most precious free time with my boys working out at RBI. We have been members since the beginning. We love the game of baseball and we get to enjoy it all season long. We go even in the summer. The staff there has become more than great teachers and coaches, they have become friends. I look forward to going as much as the kids do. Best of all, my kids and I are much closer as we share the great game.”

“Over the last 2 years, 5 of our High School baseball players have taking regular lessons at RBI. Paul Rappoli and RBI is the most professional baseball instructional atmosphere that we have seen! Kind people who care, great instruction from former professional baseball players, and plenty of cages to hit in....and the results have been awesome. These boys are playing great...hitting laser shots to the gaps...and if you're lucky, you might happen to see Nomar Garciaparra there and get personal instruction from one of the best hitters in the last 20 years...it's worth the 25 minute ride.”
