"Jeremy looks from the heart and sees the potential in each player. He gets down on their level and uses his expertise to teach each player what he needs to know to succeed in baseball and in life. It has been a pleasure working with Jeremy. We are blessed to have him in our community."

From other Coaches

What can I say about Jeremy Ward? Well, I first met Jeremy this past summer when he became a part of the Frisco Roughriders bullpen staff. I got to know Jeremy very well because I am the bullpen catcher for the Roughriders and there were several things I noticed about him almost right away.

1. Jeremy loved being at the ballpark and he enjoyed talking to kids of all ages.
2. He always showed a tremendous amount of dedication and a sincere passion for the game of baseball.
3. His desire to coach and teach the game of baseball once his playing days are over.

The third thing, his desire to coach, really caught my attention because my real job is that of a high school teacher and high school baseball coach. I always tried to listen carefully when he talked about coaching and what his philosophies are when it comes to coaching the game. The more that I listened, I realized that Jeremy is a very special person with a great talent and he is going to make a great coach once his playing days are over. He is very knowledgeable of the sport and very enthusiastic about teaching the sport the right way. Being around Jeremy when he is talking baseball is very infectious and he has the ability to draw you in with his love for the game that makes you want to listen more and learn more. Jeremy is, and will be, a great mentor for young baseball players wanting to better themselves.

" My name is Linty Ingram and I am the head coach for the 13U and 18U Dallas Tigers. I have been involved with youth baseball here in the Metroplex for 13 years. Jeremy Ward is the real deal when it comes to teaching the game of baseball. I have had the opportunity to work beside Jeremy at Centerfield Baseball Academy for over 4 months. Jeremy has the ability to pass along the information that he has learned through his years in baseball as good as anybody I have ever seen in this profession. The biggest compliment that an instructor can get comes through his clients, meaning: if they come back for more. With Jeremy they do, all of them. Jeremy is also my assistant coach for my 13U team. Myself and the kids on my team are extremely happy about having Jeremy around to pick at his little brain (there is my shot at you). To say the least, Jeremy is working himself into an outstanding instructor and coach, and the Metroplex welcomes people like Jeremy to our baseball world to help the kids learn the game of baseball the correct way. Let me add, if you expect Jeremy to be easy on your kid he is probably the wrong choice for an instructor, but if you want your kid to be pushed to his maximum ability and mental toughness then he will be a great fit for your kid's baseball development."

"My name is Jim Hoagg and I am the Head Coach for the PBA 11AA Bulls. The first time I heard of Jeremy Ward was when my son Hunter had come from a Frisco Roughrider game with an autographed ball signed by Jeremy. He was so excited that this awesome pro pitcher gave him his autograph.

PBA had announced a chance to practice with Jeremy. Unfortunately the Bulls did not win the contest. My good friend Lori Kahawaii at PBA had met Jeremy and spoke highly of Jeremy.

The Bulls were going to have a team function, so I contacted Jeremy to see if his schedule would allow, if he could come by and meet the boys.

Fortunately for the Bulls he was available. Jeremy took time out of his busy schedule to come by our picture–n–picnic event. All of the boys and parents got a chance to meet him and Ashley (his wife), he gave the team lots of pointers.

Jeremy was great with all of the boys, he was a consummate professional and a lot of fun. I look forward to our next opportunity to have Jeremy at a team practice. I will sign up Hunter for some private lessons with Jeremy. I would highly recommend to any parent or Coach for their kid(s) or team to take lessons from Jeremy Ward."

"I met Jeremy Ward in the winter of 2005. He was staying in eastern NC and needed a place to workout and a catcher to throw to. In return for use of our catchers and facilities Jeremy spent in excess of 10 hours a week working with our pitching staff at East Carteret High School. He was able to give our pitchers an idea of the work ethic needed to succeed at the highest level, a better mental approach in preparation for appearances, and just the confidence a person of his stature gives a kid by saying "good job," "much better," and "atta boy."

During the spring Jeremy spent time working with both West and East Carteret High Schools. Both teams would win their respective conference championships in 2006. In the summer, 10 of 13 members of NC American Legion Post 46's players had worked with Jeremy. Post 46 finished the summer by winning a State Championship and finishing 3rd in the Southeast Regional in Deland, FL."

"As a player I coached at Long Beach State, Jeremy was a pitcher who had great mechanics and understanding of the game. His competitive nature, drive, and understanding of pitching allowed him to make his own adjustments during a game. Jeremy's 90+ fastball and power slider allowed him to be one of the best closers in Long Beach State history. With Jeremy's experience as a top college and professional baseball player, he has the ability to teach the game how it should be taught."

From the Players

"Hi, my name is Travis Griffith; I am an 18 year old high school pitcher. I have recently started taking pitching lessons from Jeremy. I heard about Jeremy from my infield coach at school. Jeremy doesn’t make any major changes in the way you do things because he believes “there are many ways to play the game.” After only going to one lesson I had already felt a change in my consistency. I would definitely recommend anyone to sign up for lessons with Jeremy; he is not only your coach but a friend as well."

"Coach Ward is very knowledgeable in the game of baseball and takes a great interest in all of his students. He is very enthusiastic which makes it easier to learn and to communicate with him. His camps and lessons have helped me to perfect my skills which I know will take me to the next level. I look forward to working with him in the future."

From the Parents

"We like Coach Jeremy's pitching lessons very much. Jeremy is very organized. He manages and maintains a nice web page, you can find lots of good information there, our own schedule, and our kid's progress, homework etc. We visit his website often. Jeremy is very dedicated and patient in teaching kids. He knew where my son needed to work on and made sure he is doing it right every time and do the homework too. Jeremy is very friendly and considerate. He always strives to make the best for his students and their parents. We are very pleased to see our son's progress and would highly recommend anyone to sign up for lessons with Coach Jeremy."

- Daisy Wu

"We have been working with Jeremy for several months and have been very pleased with the work he does. We started with my younger son and have started bringing the older one too. He has LOTS of patience and knows when to take the high pressure off and just have fun teaching. I totally appreciate his approach. My kids have enjoyed working with him."

- Cherie Layton

"My son Kyle has been taking pitching lessons from Jeremy for a number of months. I have been extremely impressed by Jeremy's ability to connect with my son, and adapt to his unique requirements, while teaching him the art of pitching. My son truly enjoys coming to lessons each week, and I have been amazed by the progress he has made in a very short time.

I have watched Jeremy work with many kids, in a number of facets of the game (pitching, hitting, and fielding), and have found him to be highly skilled in all areas. If you are looking for personalized one-on-one instructions in a comfortable, tailored environment, I would highly suggest that you meet with Jeremy, or view his teaching techniques."
