"It was great working with the Grip N' Rip Club this year. The discounts made things more affordable for our association and it was important to know that some of the money was going to charity. The ease of being able to go to one website for training and equipment resources as well as advice and tips for our coaches was also very helpful. I would highly recommend that any association should work with the Grip N' Rip Club"

"I just wanted to tell you how happy all the coaches in Woburn are with the Grip N' Rip card! Everyone raves about how easy it is to go online for an up-to-date list of benefits. It's a great one-stop resource that tells us where to buy equipment, clean equipment, use batting cages, and everything else baseball.
We have saved hundreds of dollars with the card. It pays for itself almost after the first purchase! We also like telling the kids about the money they raised for charity; it makes them feel like they are helping out in a great way. All in all it has been great...not one complaint from the coaches and families that have them. We would also like to thank you for the great baseball tips that you provide. We hope to have you back next season. Thanks a bunch!"

"I encourage any and all organizations to be affiliated with the Grip N’ Rip Club. Our experience this year was extremely positive, and we look forward to continuing the relationship for many years to come. Working with the Grip N’ Rip Club this year not only provided our members with the great benefits afforded by the Club, but also brought in extra income to the league, making the season more affordable. Using the membership Card was very easy, as we just needed to visit one website for a list of benefits. In addition, I personally plan on taking advantage of many of the tips and strategies for coaches that they offer, as well. All in all, our partnership with the Grip N’ Rip Club has been extremely positive. ”

"This club provides BMBL players with a unique opportunity to get great discounts on batting cages and sports equipment while also giving back to the community. This is why we chose to provide Grip N’ Rip Club memberships to our ballplayers.”

"As the parent of a young baseball player, I know that the opportunities for baseball workouts, coaching sessions, travel teams, and various baseball-related events are endless. One great way to stretch the baseball budget is to become a member of the Grip N' Rip Club. I'd say I use the Grip N' Rip Club card at least once a week, and the savings really add up."

"I recently ordered five wooden bats from justbats.com. Not only did I save $40, but the customer service rep personally went into the warehouse to check the stock of the model I had requested and went out his way to pick out the best wood available. Without the Grip N' Rip Club Card I never would have found out about such a great business not to mention the substantial discount! Thanks!
