Bill Sullivan will be entering his twelfth year as head coach of the Flyers in the spring of 2006. He expects the current rebuilding program to bear fruit in the very near future after the team has struggled for the past three seasons. The Flyers did enjoy some success from 2000 to 2002, totaling 39 wins over that period, including a high of 17 in 2000.
Coach Sullivan has changed both his recruiting and his tactical methods in recent years. While still a proponent of playing an aggressive style of baseball, he has turned the focus to fundamentals and execution. From a recruiting standpoint, he has made clear that his door is always open to hard-working, team oriented student-athletes, and any player with a positive attitude and strong work ethic has a chance to succeed in the Flyer program, regardless of natural ability.
Bill played baseball for two years at Clarkstown North High School, and went on to play four years of college ball at LaSalle University in Pennsylvania. While at LaSalle, he received the Senior Service Award for athletic and academic performance. While this is his first head coaching position at the collegiate level, coach Sullivan served as an assistant at Mercy prior to his current tenure, and he has also done a great deal of work with camps and clinics, including running his own series of clinics at Mercy.
