Our Core Beliefs
Our content is rooted in the following value statements.
- Everyone should have the opportunity to play baseball regardless of their age, income or skill level.
- All kids should have access to accurate, evidence-based developmental information, even if their families can’t afford private coaching or online training resources.
- Not all youth players are trying to make it to the next level, and that’s OK. Their experience with the game still matters.
- Ballparks bring people together and should be built within communities. Where those in-town ballparks already exist, they should be preserved.
