Teams Entrusting Kelli’s for Elite Athletic Nutrition


Hold up, Kelli’s is catering for the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston? That doesn’t quite add up.. Confusion understood, let us clarify: we cater for out-of-state MLB teams during their spring training when they come down to our beautiful Clearwater, sunny Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay areas. However, we continue catering to our local Minor League pro ball teams year-round.
