CPBA is a club filled with incredible coaches. I have never been a part of an organization with a more dedicated and caring coaching staff. I could not be more grateful for the help they have provided me with throughout my career.

Have nothing but great things to say about Coach Gambs, Coach Charlie, Coach Gelalia, and the rest of the team at CPBA. They always prioritize their guys and go the extra mile for them and it’s very apparent to me and their other clients. In my case, it was apparent even after not being a part of their club teams and going to play in college. They were super easy to work with in the off-season and offered the best services for college players whether that was the camp, access to the facility, or finding time for lessons. For me personally, they played a crucial part of the getting me back to my college campus ready to go for the spring and I always felt that I was a step above my teammates when getting back to campus. I am very thankful to have been a player in their organization and attribute much of my success at the college level to them.

From the unexpected moment when I joined CPBA just a week before the start of my sophomore season, to my fifth summer playing with them, this program has exceeded every expectation. CPBA has provided me with unparalleled support throughout my journey—whether it was helping me with recruiting and creating the opportunity to attend Misericordia, or pushing me to grow and develop as a player. The coaches have consistently offered top-tier guidance, and the friendships I’ve made along the way are ones I’ll cherish for a lifetime. This program has truly been instrumental in shaping both my athletic career and personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend CPBA to anyone fortunate enough to have the chance to play for this outstanding organization. It’s an experience you won’t regret!

Playing for Complete Performance was one of the most professional and exciting experiences I have had. When it comes getting recruited this is the place to be. The connections Complete Performance provides were amazing. The development and knowledge that is also given is very professional. When playing for complete it really feels like a family and the staff here are amazing. I wish I ended up playing for Complete Performance earlier in my baseball career.

As a former coach and a current baseball umpire, I've very seen every bit of the good, the bad, and the ugly on the diamond. Without question, one of the highest quality developmental and instructional baseball organizations in the northeast is CPBA. While there Success speaks for itself, there focus on skill and knowledge development is second to none. Moreover, there is a love and respect for the game that is palpable in every coach/ player interaction. As an official, I love showing up to a game and seeing CPBA in the dugout, it's a guarantee that players will hustle, respect the game, and play it the way it was meant to be played.

CP is just an awesome group of guys, coaches and everybody apart of the organization becomes family. If you’re looking to grow, CP is the best place for that.

I traveled thousands of miles 3 summers in a row to play for CBPA. CBPA not only helped me grow as a baseball player, but they helped make me into the man I am today. Through CBPA I was able to play college baseball, and learn valuable life lessons through fantastic coaches that have carried me on into my professional career outside of baseball. The decision to play for CBPA was one of the best decisions I made in my life, and I am forever grateful for the impact they made in my life.

Coach Gambs and staff do a great job of getting their players prepared for the next level. They always produce a quality product on the field, but more importantly, have great kids who communicate well and know what to expect at the college level. I look forward to many more years of working with the CPBA staff to try and recruit players to Ramapo College.
Ryan Rinsky

There are many people in the baseball industry who do the bare minimum for their players. Charlie and Joe go above and beyond what is expected from them to ensure their players are coached, recruited, and cared for like they should be. My brother’s experience with CPBA is a huge reason why he is a DI scholarship player!

I have had the pleasure of being a part of the organization for over 5 years now. Joining CPBA in middle school the staff became like a family to me helping me grow as a baseball player and a man. They do everything at the highest level and teach the ins and outs of the game. It presented me and allowed me the opportunity to continue my love for the game into college and I couldn’t thank them more.

CP was some of the best times of my life. They are first class organization with a phenomenal staff and great knowledge. They develop you on and off the field, to be the best player and even better person. I have also met some of my closest friends through playing with CP, and hold some great memories from it. The place to be!

Nobody cares about their players development ON and OFF the field more than the staff at CP, and it starts at the top with Charlie & Gambs. The entire CP staff works together and truly cares about the progression of each player in the organization.

Helped me play college baseball and develop as a player.

Going into my junior year of high school I joined CP. I had doubts about being able to be recruited by schools that were going to be a good fit. As the year went on I was helped tremendously by Gambs and all of the CP staff. I eventually received an offer to play college baseball at a school I felt was right for me and I do not think it would have been possible without the help and guidance of Gambs.

Complete Performance Baseball Academy is what allowed me to play baseball at the next level. These top of the line Coaches know what they are doing and will develop you into a great baseball player and person. If you are looking for an opportunity to play at the next level CPBA is the perfect place for you. As soon as I joined the CPBA family I was recieving phone calls from college Coaches almost every day. The connections that Coach Gambs has are unreal and will not be matched anywhere else. Making the switch to Complete Performance Baseball Academy was the best decision I could have made.
Joey Giordano

Raising two sons in the competitive Bergen County baseball circuit can be challenging, especially with who to trust. Both my son's trained at Complete Performance Baseball and I will tell you there's not another baseball training organization out there that cares about their players more than CPBA. Coach Gambs and Coach Charlie are second to none. Highly recommend them for all your baseball training needs.

Amazing baseball/softball facility where everything you need to succeed is at your finger tips with excellent coaching. From machines, to weighted bats, to training gloves CPBA has what you need to become the baseball or softball player you want to become.
Joe Bernardo

CP is a an excellent organization. They focus on the development of the player, more than the wins on the field. The level of fundamentals taught has prepared both of my sons to be be successful as they transition into high school. There is NOBODY that works harder behind the scenes for the players at CP and finding a match for those that want to play at the next level. The whole staff is knowledageble and build relationships. It is just a great place to be associated with.

I joined Complete Performance Baseball Academy when I was 14 years old and everyone apart of the organization has had a major impact on my life on and off the field. Being apart of CPBA has been an incredible experience for my family and I. All of the coaches are not only knowledgeable and passionate about baseball but also genuinely committed to the growth and development of every player. Complete Performance Baseball Academy is the only club organization that I have played for because it has always been everything I’ve wanted and more. The coaches at CPBA were a major influence on me achieving my lifetime goal of playing college baseball. The relationships built with my coaches at CPBA will last a lifetime and they have done a tremendous job shaping me into the ball player and young man that I am. Now, as a college baseball player, I notice even more all the connections that CPBA coaches have with college coaches. Various different college coaches have talked highly to me about CPBA and being a CPBA player has opened more opportunities for me as well. I am truly grateful to be apart of such a supportive and professional organization that prioritizes both athletic excellence and personal growth. I highly recommend Complete Performance Baseball Academy to anyone looking to take their game to the next level and become the best baseball player that you can be!

I was one of the first young guys to ever join the program, and immediately they took me in with open arms. Everything they teach is precise and has intent. I believe the only reason I have the opportunity to play baseball at the college level is because of the growth I had during my time at CPBA. Coach Gambardella, Coach Giachetti, Coach Walther, and the rest of the staff are the best at what they do. Amazing program.
Rob DeBello

CPBA is exceptional, just like their coaching style. They all bring the same enthusiasm, dedication, and passion to the business as they do to coaching. As someone who had the privilege of being coached by Coach Gambardella, I can attest to his genuine care for his players’ well-being, both on and off the field. His knowledge of the game, coupled with his ability to inspire and motivate, makes him stand out. I highly recommend checking out the facility to anyone looking to improve their skills and develop a love for the game.

Complete performance baseball academy was the best decision I made in my life. They helped me get my name out there and ultimately play college baseball. All of the coaches work with players 1 on 1 to ensure the best results. There was honestly no other organization I would’ve rather played with than CPBA
Kyle Rogers
STAC
CPBA does a fantastic job developing players and teaching the game of baseball. Coach Gambs and his staff care about their players as individuals and guide them on and off the field. CPBA players continue to improve as they go through the program. They are typically well educated about the college recruiting process and have honest guidance throughout.
Pete Egbert
Head Coach Misericordia
I’ve had an excellent experience at CPBA and I can't recommend it enough to anyone serious about improving their baseball skills. The coaching staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the game, offering personalized attention to each player. They focus not only on skill development but also on building mental toughness, teamwork, and discipline. The training facilities are top-notch, and the academy provides a wide variety of programs for players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. My son has seen significant improvement in his batting, fielding, and overall game understanding since joining. What sets CP apart is the positive and motivating atmosphere. The coaches are approachable and genuinely care about the progress of each player, and the environment fosters growth both on and off the field. Whether you're looking for private lessons, group training, or even preparation for college-level play, Complete Performance has the resources and expertise to help you reach your goals.
Frank Marano

CPBA and Coach Gambs have always been a top tier organization in their professionalism, player development, and recruitment of their student athletes in the organization. As a college player from 2017-2021, through the summers and winters CPBA prepared me better than I could have ever imagined to compete at the D3 level. As a current college recruiting coordinator, there are few people in the business who are as reliable and hard working at Gambs himself. Strongly recommend any player who has serious aspirations to play college baseball to develop and learn under all the guys at CPBA.
Garrett DeMarrais
Asst Coach Misericordia
In a business filled with used car salesman and empty promises, Complete Performance Baseball always delivers. Winning plastic trophies are not their focus. Rather, they are focused on what matters: development and learning how to play the game the right way. I couldn't be more grateful for all that CPBA has done for my program and my sons. Thanks fellas.
John Zisa
Head Coach Depaul Catholic
As a former college coach, I knew that when I was recruiting a prospective student-athlete from CPBA, they were going to well coached, respectable and hard-working. Three intangibles that are integral in having success at the collegiate level. Coach Giachetti, Gambardella and the entire coaching staff outlines a plan of attack both on and off of the field and they couldn’t be more devoted to their players. Whether it’s skill refinement or starting from the ground up, they’re going to help you get to the places that you want to go.
Max Felsenstein

I think my favorite thing about Complete Performance is they always find a perfect balance in their coaches for summer ball. Understanding the recruiting process and the game but deep than that their personalities bring a great balance that make you want to be out there even more.

First class outfit. Gambs and his staff are a pleasure to work with. Elite communicators and evaluators. They have struck the perfect balance between development, exposure, and teaching young players how to win.

CPBA is a first class organization that does it the right way. They make sure their players are prepared physically and mentally to play at any level. Most importantly they truly care and are always doing what’s best for their players.

Watching and Recruiting CPBA players is always a joy, this program teaches kids how to play the game correctly and with class
Mike Matera

Great organization that provides honest information about their players. Stands by their guys while also letting college coaches do their job and recruit. Any time you see a CPBA game, the coaches are invested in the players and their development. We’ve been fortunate to bring several CPBA alums into our program.
Ethan Newton
Asst Coach FDU
Charlie has helped me elevate my hitting over the past 4 years through his very intense and personalized hitting lessons. He has helped me grow as a hitter tremendously and is now helping me excel at the Division I Level.
Gianna DiMeglio
Class organization that starts at the top! In the age of club organizations CPBA has never lost sight of why they are in the business. Player/Character development both on and off the field is so crucial and they build a family like environment to teach these lessons. No place I would rather send my boys!
Ken Clough
Parent
Thanks to coach gambs and coach Charlie to helping me throughout my high school career. I was able to learn, grow, and advance my career into college. Without the hard work they put into my development and powerful lessons they taught me about baseball and life I don’t think I would be in the same position I am in now. Even to this day I resort to them as mentors inure and always reach out to them if I ever need help or advice whether it is baseball or life related. Playing for these guys was the best thing I could have ever done for myself and my career.
Michael Gillen
Clemson University
Both of my boys play for Complete Performance with my oldest going on his 4th year and my youngest getting ready to start his 2nd year. What we love about CPBA is the focus is on player development and it shows in how they run their practices. It is quite impressive watching their practices with the multiple stations (no one standing around) and the consistent coaching. It also shows on game day where they prioritize growth over wins (meaning not going to pitch your kid 100 pitches to win a game and sacrifice injury). They stress the player you are in 7th grade does not mean that is the player you will be in high school so do not limit yourself at a young age. There is a reason we have not looked at or tried out for any other program. Our main goal was to get ready for high school baseball and that is exactly what they helped achieve.

CP goes above and beyond to get our players ready for the upcoming season. Charlie and Joe are the best in the business, and the staff always goes the extra mile to instruct our players to be the best that they can be. Offseason training with CP is a must for us. Thank you for everything!!!
Patrick Auteri

I have known Joe, Charlie and the coaches at CPBA for quite some time now, and have seen the transformation of their club from a startup into an Elite baseball club that rivals anyone you want to put up against em. They have built their club from the ground up, and have done it the right way. Always putting the athlete and their family first. Their knowledge of the game is impressive, but their delivery of this knowledge is what is the most impressive to me. Speaking as a father of 4 boys, I wouldn't not and HAVE NOT hesitated to highly recommend CPBA as a baseball club that parents can trust and feel comfortable knowing that the men there will do everything in their power to get the most out of your athlete while also teaching them high character values along the way. Their track record speaks for itself. They have contacts that run deep, and if your child works hard enough, would do everything in their power to get your athlete on the proper coaches radars. I can't recommend CPBA highly enough. With so many watered down baseball clubs around, that sell you a bill of goods just to make a buck, I do not write this review naively. They do it the RIGHT WAY.

Joining Complete Performance, my freshman year of highschool, was one of the best choices I made for my baseball career. Coach Charlie and coach Gambs taught me how to play baseball the right way. They were instrumental in my development as a baseball player and as a man. They also helped me achieve my dream of playing Division 1 Baseball. For the past 9 years coach Gambs and coach Charlie have treated me like family. I am lucky to have played for two of the best coaches in New Jersey.

First class organization, these guys are the best! Nobody better than these guys -Coach Gambs, Charlie, Duncan and G. Would go back and do it 100x over again. Thank you guys for everything.

Charlie and Joe Gambs are great. They not only work with physical skills but the mental skill for the game as well. Gambs worked with my son through the years to achieve heights of not only a high school state Championship, but a D1 baseball player at Manhattan University and then Rutgers Scarlet Knights with a highschool career average over .400 and a d1 college career average over .325 Cpba would be great choice if your son has the desire to succeed in this game.

Joe and CPBA do a great job preparing their players to compete at the college level. As well as preparing and assisting them with the college recruiting process. You always know what you’re going to get when you recruit a CPBA guy.

Playing for CBPA has been some of the most fun I’ve had playing baseball ever. At CBPA I’ve created relationships that will last a lifetime. From the second I started playing for CPBA all coaches have been driven to improve every part of my game to its highest potential. Playing for CBPA has grown me as a player and pushed me to become the best version of myself on and off the field. My only regret would be not joining the team earlier. If you have the chance to play for CPBA I’d recommend it to anyone as it truly was the most fun I’ve had playing baseball while also getting me ready to play college ball.
