Kurtis Kintzel’s lifetime passion for coaching baseball began at the age of 15 when he coached an 8 and under team. Since then, his participation in helping youth baseball players as a coach and tournament organizer are well documented.

He has assisted midwestern youth achieve some of their athletic goals and dreams by providing opportunities to train, travel and play against the best baseball teams in the nation. “We’ll play anyone, anywhere, anytime” was more than a fun saying. Traveling to California, Nevada, Florida, Alabama, New York, Delaware, etc. provided competitive baseball challenges, but also life expanding opportunities.  

Some of his former athletes are now enjoying collegiate and professional careers. Over twenty baseball players that Kurtis has coached have played on scholarship at Division 1 Colleges (Michigan State, Purdue, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, etc.) and a handful have been drafted into the pros playing for teams such as the California Angles, Pittsburg Pirates, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, Tampa Rays, Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA), and Baltimore Orioles.
