It is through teaching baseball fundamentals that we will equip players to develop a passion for challenging themselves to strive for excellence.
TEAM CORE VALUES
Our core values are developed around bible-based principles. It will be our goal to hold ourselves accountable to these ideals at all levels of our organization. Our teams acknowledge God by saying prayers before practices and games.
• Honesty – Being truthful in all circumstances. Even when we make mistakes.
• Integrity – Doing our very best to be our best in all things. Even when we fail.
• Perseverance - Challenge ourselves to keep trying our best. Even when times are tough.
• Courage - Having faith in ourselves and being positive even when we find ourselves struggling.
• Excellence - Working hard believing that you will achieve your goals, even when things don’t go your way.
TEAM GOAL SETTING

Practice strategies will be developed to build confidence, demonstrate honest effort, and define character. Practices will be physically and mentally challenging by design to prepare players for game-time scenarios.
