Chad Harville
From Chad:
“While growing up in Savannah, Tennessee, youth sports played a significant role in my life. I have always been blessed with the greatest coaches who had excellent attention to detail and always stressed hard work. Throughout my career, I have always been able to look back on the days of my youth in Savannah and recall the fundamentals. After retiring from professional baseball, my passion returned back to youth sports and since that time I have thoroughly enjoyed and am blessed to have the opportunity to teach, train, and inspire young men and women who are as passionate as I was growing up.”
