About

What we hope to accomplish

Knowledge of how to play the game of baseball the right way, with a respect of the game, coaches, teammates, opponents, and officials.

The understanding of the role proper nutrition, sleep habits, and physical well being have on performance and in the classroom.

The power of teamwork and the magic of what can be accomplished when a group of people come together for a common purpose.

A sense of hope that comes from knowing that people in the community care about their development as a human being.

Provide opportunities for young people to grow into mentoring roles in their local community.
