THE GRIND

Today 12-2 Equipment Swap! Everyone is welcome and the cages will be open.

We cordially invite you to join us in honoring our seniors with a special farewell celebration. Six seniors will be advancing to the collegiate level in softball, and we welcome back returning players from the classes of 2022, 2023, and 2024 as they proudly display their commitment banners and commence their next journey.

Hey everyone it’s that time of year again to clean out your garage and donate all your old softball and baseball equipment to help another child in need. We will be accepting donations now until Aug 14 for an equipment swap on Aug 16.

Meet our second Instructor of the week!

It's that time of year again. If you're seeking private lessons to enhance your skills, you've come to the right place. Let's introduce our first instructor, TJ Perez!

Copied from someone else but this is what we hear all the time from recruiters

Message from anonymous college coach:

I was at a recruiting tournament this weekend and the things that made me walk away from games where I was watching kids I was interested in recruiting were:

1. Parents screaming from the sidelines at umpires and girls on the field (including their own child).

2. Kids leaving the dugout. Running to their parents during the game and talking about coaching decisions, umpires, and asking for special treatment and snacks during the game from their parents. (This might sound harsh, but I don’t want a kid who runs to their parents and complains about everything and needs to be coddled during the game).

3. Dirty looks towards umpires and talking back to umpires.

4. Inability to recover after a strikeout, hard inning, or call they didn’t agree with.

5. Lack of hustle. Walking everywhere and talking back to coaches or treating teammates disrespectfully.

We recruit the family and the athlete. We recruit attitude and effort. We recruit athletes who can recover after failure and push through mistakes. We recruit athletes that keep working hard when things get hard or when a play or call doesn’t go their way. We recruit grit and athleticism, mixed with knowledge of the game. We recruit kids who don’t give up and blame others for their circumstances. We recruit kids who run out pop-ups and don’t give up on the play. We recruit kids who recover! We recruit kids who lead! We recruit kids who want to COMPETE!
If you want to be recruited, be present for every play and every action performed on the field. You never know who’s watching in the stands.

Rainy days call for smart planning! Avoid congested tunnels by reserving yours in advance for the rest of the week.
