“Mastrole Passing Academy has taken my sons QB skills to the next level. What coach Mastrole does well is teach every aspect of the throwing motion along with the mechanics both above and below the waist. His knowledge of the QB position and the amount of different drills (footwork, release, etc.) he puts the kids through is unmatched. Coach thanks for working with Max as you continue to help him become the complete QB. I would recommend your passing academy to any QB who wants to take their game to the next level.”

“Having been around camps and combines for over 30 years, see some of the best perform, I have had the opportunity to watch a lot of instructors teach the sport of football. To me, there are very few who take the time to teach the way Ken Mastrole does. His experience as a player and as a coach certainly comes through in his approach to the game. At a time when there isn’t enough emphasis on doing things the right way, he has the formula for success at his camps and as a private instructor.”

Ken,”Just a quick note to Thank You and express how pleased we are with your Passing Academy.I heard good things about your program about four months ago and when researching it was most impressed with your support staff so I decided to give it a shot. My two quarterback sons, one in high school and the other in senior Pop Warner, came to the camp hoping for a good workout and more tips exclusively at the skilled positions. Wow, were we pleasantly surprised; I stayed for most of the day as we saw some of the best position players in the entire area present. My sons quickly realized the hi-level of talent in SW Florida, and as they worked with Ken’s staff I watched them improve throughout the day !! Each station they worked at was directed by knowledgeable coaches and there was no goofing around, just focus on the skill and execution. By the end of the day I was convinced they needed more attention at this caliber, and by this organization.Since the camp, we have utilized Ken and his staff for the Small Group Clinics and they have been fantastic. Having Ken Mastrole work directly with my boys has made a dramatic improvement at their positions and they are still attending these sessions and continuing to improve. In fact, recently we watched last seasons game video of both boys and the improvement of their set-up and delivery was actually comical as we were laughing out loud !!
Thank you Ken for all the hard work you have spent on my sons. I know their improved footwork and arm motion is all attributed to you and your staff and we greatly appreciate it !! And lastly, I cannot thank you enough when I have heard through the high school sports circle of coaches how you have complimented and promoted my kid and his future potential; now THAT truly is priceless coming from a professional like you and him getting noticed in hopes to play at the college level !!!
I look forward to your continued education with my boys !!”

Coach Mastrole, We have been to a couple other Quarterback camps before & Brock has never come away with any critisim before, it was always more of what they thought we would want to hear instead of things to improve Brocks game. We love the advice & knowing Brock he will take it to heart to improve. We will definitly be back.

Coach Ken, I cannot thank you enough for helping me become a better football player. Your hours of handy drills and your professional edge have been extremely helpful, but the best tool you have given me is to believe in myself and to work hard if I want something bad enough. Your job would be easy if every quarterback knew how to execute both of these to the highest degree. I feel like without your training and faith in me, I wouldn’t have achieved the goals I set out to when I decided football was the sport for me. So much of my game has improved since I have joined your sessions and I have only been to a handful of them. I am now playing quarterback on the Varsity football team as a sophomore and I am working harder than ever to be all that I can be both on and off the football field. Thank you so much for believing in me Coach! See you at the next training session!

High school quarterbacks throughout South Florida can improve all aspects of their game with the Mastrole Passing Academy. Coach Mastrole’s experience playing and coaching the quarterback position is why my son Ivan Rosales who is the quarterback at Ronald Reagan/Doral Sr. High attends Mastrole Passing Academy. Coach Mastrole’s training sessions have a small quarterback to coach ratio, which allows for more reps and coaching to take place. As a high school football coach I know that our time coaching individual positions during practice is limited and sometimes quarterbacks don’t get enough time to work on the fundamentals. My son, Ivan has made great progress since he started working out with coach Mastrole; he has improved his pocket presence, footwork and defense recognition. A quarterback’s footwork is extremely important and the ladder has improved his accuracy. I strongly recommend Mastrole Passing Academy as it has made a significant impact in my son’s performance on the field.

Ken, thought I would send you a thanks for working with Tyler. It is funny that when we go to various parks to throw, somebody will always come up and ask about Tyler. Whether it is asking his age or who does he play for, the questions keep coming. Parents that do not even know us, will see him working and comment on his drop, arm, or something. I give you the props and just wanted to say thanks for your work with Tyler.

“I have coached and personally worked with Ken Mastrole at the professional level and his work ethic and attention to detail is why he has become such a good teacher.”The QB position is a unique one and the fundamentals and mechanics required at the ground level are the cornerstone of his instruction.
“He understands that championship caliber play at the QB position starts at the feet and works up from there. Most importantly he understands the inherent value to the mental side of the game from the neck up.”

Coach Mastrole has taken Abe to another level as far as the mechanics of quarterbacking. My son Abe was able to compete and start at quarterback on varsity as a freshman and sophomore with the help of Coach Ken. He plays 6A football in Miami-Dade would not be able to handle those potential D1 defenders without Coach Mastrole’s instructions.
Thank you so much Coach
