“We first started with Playmakers July of 2022. Our son Jacob was going from being an 8th grade lineman to a Freshman quarterback. Jake has always had a big arm but never any formal training. From the first day working with Playmakers we began seeing improvement. Not only has our sons footwork gotten better, which is tough for a tall QB, but his accuracy has also improved and he throws with a tighter spiral. Mark Jr has a great connection with these boys too. He’s very knowledgeable and understands that these throws aren't easy. Always encouraging and relatable to my son and he always looks forward to training with playmakers. One thing I really like is sometimes between drills or even during drills while Mark Jr is training Mark Sr will talk with the parents. He lets us know what they're looking at and how much is actually going into these throws. At playmakers their football IQ doesn't stop at the quarterback position. Our son throws for an hour and then does conditioning along with the receivers and QB's he's been working with. This off-season coming up I also have a 14 year old who will be entering his Freshman year of high school. A speedy guy at wide receiver with a love for football, I couldn't see him being trained by anyone else but Mark Jr & Sr at Playmakers.”

“Michael first started with Playmakers when he was 14 yrs old and just finished his 8th grade AYF season. He went to a QB/receiver weekend clinic and was hooked. He loved the drills, the explanation of WHY they were doing them and how it was going to help him become a better QB in a game. They focused on his throwing mechanics, agility and gave him homework to work on at home such as building more core strength. We could see the immediate difference during the games with his throwing motion and ball placement. Since he didn’t get a freshman season due to Covid, but was able to continue working with Coach Picc and Mark, he won the starting Varsity QB position as a Sophomore for Shelton High. Coach Picc and Mark became more than Mike’s coaches but also became his mentor. We believe that much of Michaels on field success has been due to Playmakers. They have helped shape Michael into a committed, dedicated, hard working young man on and off the field. We highly recommend Playmakers to any QB looking to get better. ”

“My son, Ryan has been working with PlaymakersCT since he was 8 years old, he just turned 13! I have seen amazing growth in his skills and confidence on the field because of it. Ryan will often request to work with Coach Pic the day before a game because he always feels more confident after a session. Coach Pic has always gone the extra mile to ensure we can fit into his busy schedule. His flexibility has really been beneficial, especially before a big game! I am so grateful for the continued collaboration which has pushed my son to perform to his maximal ability. We are excited to see how he keeps improving with the help of everyone at PlaymakersCT. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a dedicated and supportive quarterback coach for their young athlete.”

“Mark Piccirillo has been working with our son on the fundamentals of being a quarterback since 4th grade. We have seen so much improvement in the past three seasons. Mark is not only a great coach, but an excellent mentor to all young men. Our son truly enjoys training with him.”
