Our coaches are held to a very high standard of teaching the game. Winning, although certainly the objective, is not the most important goal. We want each player to get better every day. We want them to be able to actualize their full potential. We strive for great team chemistry, camaraderie & unity. The Coaches must start this. Our player's goals are our goals. If we do not get them to achieve their goals, then we failed.
We have several zero-tolerance policies that are in a contract that must be signed. Some of those are not yelling, screaming, demeaning, or degrading a player. No physical training as punishment. No favoritism. Following our pitch count guidelines and managing a pitching staff effectively. no screaming or arguing with opposing coaches or umpires. Protecting players at all costs.
