“The main goal of this team is to develop and properly coach the athletes. Many athletes of all levels win, but the athletes do not receive proper instruction. Proper instruction is the collegiate level actions and mindset that the players will eventually grow into. This includes proper defensive set-ups, hitting plans, base-running skills, and much more. Thank you for your time and I hope you would like to be a part of the team!”
