Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop the complete baseball player in the physical, mental, and emotional parts of the game of baseball. We will accomplish these goals while maintaining balance in other areas of their lives to include academics, family, and other sports endeavors.
Goals and Expectations of the Program
The Goal of this program is to develop our players within the structure of a team environment. Players will understand the meaning of a team and how to work and play effectively with each other, their opponents, coaches, and umpires. They will learn the skills necessary to compete at a high level on the baseball field and off the baseball field.
Players will learn to balance competitive travel ball with academics, other sports, family, and friends. Balance is one of the many key components to our program. Players will be encouraged to play other sports, excel in the classroom, and spend time with family and friends in their time off.
