Troy has always loved baseball. As a kid he played in many little leagues in downtown Toronto. His career went to the next level when he was scouted by Grand Valley State University and took a four-year Athletic / Baseball scholarship with them. With all of his successes, Troy has now moved away from playing ball to coaching/instructing baseball.
With over ten years of coaching experience, Troy's knowledge is vast. He was the Head Coach for the under-17 Ontario Blue Jays, Assistant Coach to the Ontario Blue Jays, and Camp Director for the Leaside All-Star Baseball Camp.

Testimonial:
My team just finished a fantastic baseball clinic with Troy and already the improvement in their play is noticeable! Troy started from scratch with my team, teaching them the fundamentals, from the proper way to warm-up, to how to throw a ball correctly. He then progressed through each of the skills of baseball, analysing and correcting bad habits of each individual on the team. Many ‘elimination’, skill-based games were incorporated into the camp, so the boys got to use what they learned in a more competitive atmosphere. I was very impressed with Troy’s ‘We’re here to work hard’ attitude, which meshed nicely with his great sense of humour. The camp was well organized, fast-paced and comprehensive, and Troy’s great wealth of knowledge was evident throughout. The boys left Troy’s camp as better ball players and I look forward to having him work with future teams.
