Team Philosopy

We endeavor to create a positive environment around all baseball related activities in which we can develop talented baseball players as well as wonderful people. Our coaching staff is dedicated to improving the fundamentals and game knowledge of our young athletes while building great character traits that will endure. We stive to have a “winning season” but more importantly we aim to build winners in terms of character and ability.

Coaches Note to Parents

We are committed to demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and ethics in all baseball related activities to provide our athletes a great model for this season as well as for the rest of their life. It is our mission to develop our sons not only on the field, but with mental toughness and character traits that will help them to succeed forever. For this to succeed, we absolutely need every parent to engage with us and assist us with developing a prosperous environment for every meeting, practice or game that enables the players to be their best in all aspects of the game and in life. Your help at our practice sessions and with game responsibilities is greatly appreciated.

Player Expections

As a player, you are the reason that we are a team. We have high expectations for you and commit that we will help you to improve your baseball knowledge and skills in the areas of fielding, throwing, and catching fundamentals. You will be pushed and may at times be challenged beyond your comfort level. We understand that mistakes will occur but learn from them, be a better athlete from the rest of them and have fun. As a player, I will:

· Arrive ready to give my best effort and hustle on and off the field whether it be practice or a game

· Be on time to every practice session and a minimum of 30 minutes early to every game

· Notify my coach / assistant coach at least 24 hours ahead of practice / game time if unable to attend

· Respect your equipment (bat, glove, etc) and your uniform.

· Respect all coaches, parents, officials, and umpires (Yes or No Sir / Ma’am at all times)

· Respect my teammates and opponents

· Respect the game and spirit of team play

· Accept instruction from all coaches to develop and improve personal mechanics

· Consent to the use of technology to assist with development of fundamentals / mechanics

· Accept adversity with dignity and the resolve to learn and do better from every experience

· Control emotions and personal behaviors that are detrimental to the team and my personal development

o Failure to comply will result in time on the bench
