Our Mission Our mission is to develop a sustainable travel baseball opportunity which extends beyond the recreational level of play. This process is designed to develop the qualities of teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, and mental/physical growth. Players will receive the guidance and instruction needed to excel at middle school, JV and Varsity level. It is our goal to provide the best learning atmosphere, the most qualified coaches, and the most fun, competitive baseball environment possible. Core Team Rules • •
• •
• • •
Always hustle – give 100% while participating whether it is in practice or in games. There is no substitute for hustle. We want teams to know they are in for a battle and received our best effort when they play us. We will not tolerate “hot dogs”, players who “mouth off”, throw bats, helmets, or gloves; cause team problems, act immature, “show boat” on or off the field; and other things of this nature. Continued misbehavior could eventually mean dismissal from the team. REMEMBER – you are representing yourself as a person, your teammates and our program. You must be a successful student in the classroom. Be certain to do your part to maintain a satisfactory relationship between yourself and your teachers so that you may continue in the baseball program. You must be receptive to change. We do many things in our program that are contrary to what you have done previously. So, your success depends very much upon how readily you adapt. This is what being “coachable” means. Our goal is to prepare everyone for High School Baseball. The TEAM is most important! Everything we do in baseball is for the team. Good team men are hard to find, but individuals are a dime a dozen We expect every player to work outside of practices on their baseball skills both physically and MENTALLY There will be no “horseplay” at anytime! The safety of everyone is our primary concern, but equally critical, “horseplay” is a decaying factor that destroys the mental attitude necessary to become an excellent player and an excellent team.
