This review is for TOCA which operates inside D-Bat…read more Our family has had a mixed experience at TOCA Marietta. When we first joined, sessions started right on the hour and ran smoothly. Over time, though, the start times have drifted -- sometimes beginning 10-15 minutes late and wrapping up early before the next session. It's frustrating not knowing when the actual instruction time begins or ends. Another issue is the inconsistency with the coaching. The coaches seem to rotate frequently, and there doesn't appear to be a clear, consistent curriculum from week to week. Some coaches focus more on warm-ups and running than on skill development, while others (like Odell and Ronaldo) do an excellent job teaching technique and engaging the kids. Unfortunately, we haven't seen them in a while, and switching days hasn't helped us find them again. We've also noticed that while the club doesn't require cleats or shin guards, several kids wear them, which gives them an advantage during drills and scrimmages. It would be helpful if TOCA clarified equipment expectations so all players can participate on an even playing field. Overall, TOCA Marietta has potential -- especially when led by strong coaches -- but the inconsistency in scheduling, coaching style, and structure has made our experience uneven. With more stability and clearer communication, this could be a great program.

Perfect location in Riverdale Ga with plenty of parking and the fees are affordable for everyone. Will be returning with more of my friends family and young people playing baseball and softball.

Trina was really sweet and helpful by explaining how pricing worked and ensuring that we had what we needed at the cages. They also have a loyalty rewards card that allows you to get free swings (the $5 option) after a certain amount of visits. You can stamp your card one time per visit to earn the free swings. They also sold gloves and an array of snacks and drinks including popcorn and Italian ice. They provided baseball bats and helmets and had seating available with tables to hold your items. We stayed for about 90 minutes and tried the baseball and softball cages. It was a fun activity and great work out. I will be back to practice on the softball cage again.

BEFORE YOU JOIIN ANY TITANS TEAM READ THIS:…read more I had heard of this place offering spots to kids then after a few weeks or even months changing their mind, didn't really think it was true....then our good friends son had the nerve to not listen to a coach who was intoxicated at practice so often the Titans Black head coach referred to him as "the drunk Uncle".... he slurred yelling at the kids on numerous occasions and even knocked a player to the ground violently after shoving him in the back in a run down in which he mustve thought he was back in the fiekd in college where he allegedly played baseball. He then did not try to help the 11 year old up nor apologize to him or his father and when told about it the coach said he didn't see it.... Next these wily parents and other parents voiced concern about the practice days changing out of the blue from tues/thurs to wedn and fri! Because no one had jobs or other kids or any other plans so complaining about that, the titans staff wont stand for that. Enter the key fob! Touted as a benefit of being in the titan family during recruiting to have 24/7 access to their facilities (which includes one unkempt field w rubber bases that dont stay down, 2 downstairs batting cages and a 110 degree upstairs batting cage w 3 lanes that the owner could not spare the expense to cut another HVAC duct into((but they do have a loud fan...)). They have a store w out of date crap thats never open and if a player gets hit w a ball they dont even have ice to help w the swelling! I mean wow.... so sounds great right? Well guess what after 2 weeks and $1.500 for all of that its now mentioned that it is $450 for the fob! Never before disclosed! And when asked the owner copied the GM and attached a doc and told the GM he should make sure to give people a copy of the fees! But wait there's more! The mandatory parents meeting! Which consists of 75 people standing in a wide circle 5 deep while a girl takes softball BP 7 feet away playing her music and other kids upstairs hittin in the cages so its very loud which would've mattered more but the women whos job it was to run the mandatory meeting did not show up 10 min late or 20 or 30 min late but 1 hour late! Because her husband is a fireman and she was stuck driving the kids around! Our coach was unable to attend the mandatory meeting ....... ummm ok.... so we were let go after 1 hour and 35 min of which 1 hour was spent waiting while another coach tried to fill time..... no sight of the owner to welcome everyone, no chairs, not even a couple cases of water could be offered to the many new parents who had just come for the first time! They also mentioned they are "$1,000 cheaper then their competitors" if this was true you could say ok that explains all of the above and why they have a coach and asst coach who have kids on the team who are allowed to have bad body language and yell at a player if he misses a catch when they earlier missed an easier one but the other players are held to a much higher standard. Ive been apart of this before with the new Prowlers coach at sandy plains where they have a special breed of daddy ball! (Only the prowlers team... all the other coaches and teams and the board at sandy plains are fantastic...) So as for that $1,000 cheaper..... well after $1,500 and the surprise $450 fob, theres uniform fees of a few hundred and then travel fees and the tournaments themselves which aren't accounted for and are another several hundred dollars making the grand total almost $3,000 and far from "$1,000 cheaper then the competition" So even if your child did not make it anywhere else, and you feel the pressure for them to be on a travel team(which is all ridiculous and should not be happening ) do yourself a favor and pass on this place. Ps: they also dont seem to require background checks for the coaches, asst coaches or parent volunteers which is dangerous and incompetent but what do you expect from an organization that lets their drunk uncle have direct contact with 11 year old boys. They are a joke of a travel team. I feel bad for the parents who wont see this and take their kids to tryout for titans black suddenly vacated 3 roster spots but if you are reading this and havent made your decision yet proceed w extreme caution.... they are better off in rec ball' work hard and try for many of the other reputable organizations in the area next time they have try outs! Best of luck to you and your player and if that didn't convince you just read the owners profile mission statement unless you teach grammar then you may not want too.... and the other gentleman is correct, the one 5 star review is from the owners wife....

During one tournament, our son was left on the mound to struggle while his coach left the field to drink and talk to his girlfriend. Communication from coaching could have been better. Our son ended the season with one of the higher batting averages, over .500, yet he was cut because we were not accepted into the parent click of the team. This is travel ball, and I understand that, but if you are genuinely looking for your kids to improve, be coached, or develop... this place is not it.
