This season was their first season as "Knockhouse". Not sure if the governing group had teams in the past with different names or not.
The overall umbrella of Knockhouse is run by Cecil Fielder (former Detroit Tiger). Not sure of his overall involvement with the teams, but I have seen him out at ECB a couple of times with his team(s).
I know that they were charging $100 at their tryouts last fall which kept alot of people away given that they were a first year team with no reputation. People weren't willing to dole out that kind of money for a complete unknown.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, so not sure how successful their inaugural season has been across the age groups. The link to their website is below.
1st season and being that it was, the title "1st year program" kept people away! However, Cecil Fielder is Head Coach of 2 of the teams. They have Former Professional Players, College Baseball Players, and MLB Scouts, that Head Coach the other teams. We played them early in the season and last week and overall their guys developed into decent ball players.
