Great for first-time players, returners to the sport, or athletes of other sports looking for a way to build skills like quickness, field awareness, spacing, and stamina. Athletes must have cleats; soccer, lacrosse, football, etc., are fine, but no metal baseball cleats.

As a coach, Tom has worked in Vermont since coming to BBA in 2015, and he spent one summer coaching overseas in Israel.
