In Coach’s Words:
14U is an important age for not only baseball development, but the development of men.
We teach accountability, discipline, and work ethic, with a focus on faith and perseverance. Baseball is a great instrument to cultivate young men.
This is a hard age for young men and their parents. We are a family and it takes a village. Iron sharpens iron.
