We Put Elite in your Head Not on Your Chest!
We are not a travel ball organization. Travel ball is a division of our programs.
We are a school. We teach youth players how to play the game.
We are not here to win games.
We're here to teach kids how to play the game of baseball with expert fundamentals and techniques.
Then they go out and win with the tools we give them!
"Too many kids have been taught that the goal of HS sports is to achieve an ATHLETIC scholarship. Here is the truth - the goal of HS sports is to learn how to be a better person, better teammate, better communicator, & to enjoy being a teenager … something you can't get back."
Programs that pit players against each other, talk constantly about college and pro potential are neither. The truth is when they talk about developing players and being progressive they are talking about how many pure athletes can I get in my program to show I can "win," so I can get more players in my program that will keep the cycle of money unfettered.
We are obsessed with the next level. Parents of young children worry if they aren’t playing good competition, they won’t make the travel team. If they aren’t on a great travel team, they won’t be prepared for middle school sports. If they don’t have a major role on the middle school team, they won’t be a star on the high school team. If they aren’t the star on the high school team, they won’t go “D1.” If they don’t go D1, then they won’t sign a pro contract.

- Players of all abilities are welcome. Complete fundamental instruction with beginning concepts, terminology, and knowledge of the game. Our instructional lessons will be the first fundamental steps toward competitive baseball. Players learn the fundamentals of baseball and how to work as a team for a common goal. Players will learn the basics of hitting, base running, fielding. pitching and throwing techniques at this level. A stronger emphasis will be placed on playing by the rules and setting a strong fundamental baseball foundation to ready players for higher level.
While the player should have basic fundamental skills, the goal of this division is to improve the player's skills and to place less emphasis on the competitive aspects of the game. Strong player development will be in effect at the intermediate level. The instructional design is to reinforce fundamental and introduce advanced concepts of youth baseball in a friendly, yet competitive environment with a strong emphasis on instruction and skill development. The focus is still on fundamentals and building a solid knowledge of the positions; the approach and the physical demands of the game. The Intermediate aspects IMPROVES the player, to build confidence, to prepare the player for increased competition, teamwork and the necessary skill level that players will develop to progress towards their next division or tryout. Intermediate players will fine-tune their skills and develop teamwork to prepare them for the upcoming season. While many players will have basic skills, the goal of the Intermediate clinics is to improve these skills and more emphasis on getting the most out of the player at this stage of his or her development.
The player at this level has attained solid, strong, baseball knowledge and skills. The players at this level have developed into strong, confident baseball players. The pitching, fielding hitting is more skilled, player development is more advanced and position players are being taught advance techniques to further their skills. Advance players should demonstrate at all levels, the advance skills, leadership, and maturity with the ability to enhance their skills development, their rules knowledge, and situational baseball play in a competitive environment. Pitching, catching, baserunning, fielding or hitting will not stop with coach intervention for introductory rules teaching. Pitchingm Catching, Baserunning, hitting, and fielding will be more aggressive in nature. Their will be more specialization and coaches will be moving at a faster pace. The use of “off-speed” pitches, high velocity at bats should be age appropriate when assessing classes. The Advance clinic provides increased competition, teamwork and skill level that players have developed over the years, with a strong emphasis on polishing skills, improving dynamics and/or taking the player to a whole new level or approach to the game. The advance level is demanding and requires players full and immediate concentration at all times!
