On December 15, 2022, Coach Caz along with business partner Heather Pomilio, a Tincher-based Fastpitch Pitching Instructor openned the doors to a brand new Fastpitch Training Facility on Long Island called 88 Stitches. Then on May 20, 2024, we expanded the facility by opening a second side with up to 4 additional cages. The facility is located at 74 North Industry Court in Deer Park. It is a facility that is configurable up to 8 cages and will be used by Team Nitro LI as it official training center and hitting facility.

We have a vast line up of Fastpitch training instructors available to conduct individual/group lessons to both Team Nitro LI players as well as non-TNLI players. Having this facility available as a primary facility for Team Nitro LI Players and Teams will allow us to elavate our programs and further distiquish TNLI as the premier Fastpitch organization on Long Island.
