"I’m confused how he still has a job after looking at his player retention rate. At least 2 non-graduating players have left his team every year since the start of his program. That alone should say enough. He’s ruined the sport for so many. Sells these athletes the world on their visits and show his true colors the first month of school. I pity these girls and hope future recruits can see through his act before it’s too late."

"Anyone that gives this man a negative rating doesn’t understand Coach Gravante or what he’s been through. If you’re not a starter then work hard enough to become one. Coach Gravante sticks his neck out for each player in his program and builds a culture of men that is driven towards success in life first and winning in lacrosse second. It’s a shame they just let him go. Another comment says I’m surprised he was there as long as he was. I am too because the number of times he put his job on the line for a player to stay in school and get his act together after getting in trouble is astonishing. Put some respect on this man’s name. He’s a great man and a great mentor."

"Gage should not be coaching nor called a coach. He has his favorites that can do no wrong but they still dislike him. He hides behind his office door, does not speak directly to players but will humiliate them in front of a crowd, and is just a very bad person who cannot look you in the eye when he decides he has time for you. His post-game yelling fits, placing blame on specific players for losing games, and even blaming the lack of enthusiasm from the bench for losses are all examples of his actions, which also include mental abuse, punishing players by making them run until they vomit then claiming it’s building character, and name-calling that I was personally subjected to in one of the reviews above regarding the Florida trip that was a nightmare. This person has no business being a coach of a little league team, never mind a college baseball team. Ask the 11 players who have quit since September 2022. No they were not cut, they quit because of him. He overuses players and stresses routines that have resulted in many serious injuries. Stay far away from this coach."

We play competitive baseball in our area. He treats player terrible, unless your his pet player. His practices are unorganized and unplanned. You are there to go to school first, but because he has no plan or schedule you never know from day to day. . Read the other reviews! They are the accurate.

"I would not recommend anyone attend this school to play baseball. This coach lacks the intelligence to be an effective leader. He is disrespectful to the players and the game. The staff is disorganized with no game plan. The team went on a trip to a tournament in Florida pitchers didn't know when they were pitching or if they were pitching. One of the assistant coaches drove the van in an unsafe manager at high speed and hit a pole after one of the players told him he was going to hit it. The head coach called a player "faggot" because he had an ear ring this was done in front of the entire team and humiliated a kid. This is not a place I would encourage my son to attend. "

He is a busy man, so you must speak up if you want something or have a concern. He takes the team on some pretty cool trips, his coaching style is a little hands off, but definitely willing to help and be more hands on, all you have to do is ask. He loves to know everyone personally outside of golf. The team dynamic is strong, fun and we spend a lot of time together. "
