Program Philosophy

Baseball is a unique sport in that failure is to be expected – even the best players fail early and often. Baseball players spend most of their time reacting to different situations - the sport practically demands that you gain comfort in being uncomfortable. Whether we win or lose, we are consistently challenging our discomfort and we learn to rely on our teammates to overcome common obstacles. We want to be the ones celebrating after a game, but more than anything else, if we embrace the challenge of honorably competing at a high level - without fear of failure – your experience and friendships will remain with you for a lifetime.
