GENERAL INFO & FAQ
GAME SCHEDULES
Tournament game schedules (dates only) will be posted to the schedules section in advance of season. Please review season dates ASAP and know if there is a major conflict for your player (i.e Family Commitment /Religious Commitment/Academic Commitment that cannot be worked around). We have good relationship with all tournament directors where I have some flexibility with game times. We try our best to help in certain situations where there are multiple conflicts.

Check in or “AVAILABILITY” update is required for your player for all game events!!!! Click on team availability in the on SportsPlus app and click YES or No to communicate to team manager that your player will/will not be in attendance for day of game event(s).

Important Note: Our priority as a program is the development of young players into well rounded baseball players and people. All our coaches are teachers first and we want to create positive, fun environment on the field. That being said, this is competitive baseball. Team coaches and managers will coach first to give our teams the best chance to win each game and secondly to try to give players different experiences on the field to expand their horizons.
Players are expected to show continual improvement and take initiative to work on their skill sets to contribute to the team’s success.
We care deeply about all of our players, and we want our players to return season after season to build and create a great program together!
Thanks,
Coach Brian
