Mike has seen the sport of baseball from multiple angles, playing the sport in his youth, playing in a local wood bat men's league as an adult, being an official scorekeeper and also as an umpire. His love of the game of baseball keeps him involved and he often can be found at the field working with players to help them improve.
Kevin started volunteering his time coaching baseball to help out with both his boys' Recreational baseball teams with Garner Sports League. Kevin has been coaching since 2012 for Rec Ball and in 2016 started coaching Travel Ball for the Generals. Kevin really enjoys the game and helping all of the boys develop their skills and learn sportsmanship along the way.
Rob's passion for baseball started at a very young age. He has been around the game most of his life as first a player and now a coach. He has coached both his boys in various leagues around the Triangle Region including Garner Sports League, West Raleigh, I9 Sports, City of Raleigh, and now the Generals. His focus is on teaching sound fundamentals, fostering a healthy team environment and most of all making sure the kids have fun.
