Our motto is to "pursue the crown."  In 1 Corinthians 9:25, Paul wrote, "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever" (NIV).  As athletes, we dedicate countless hours of attention and focus to developing in our sport.  Although we should pursue our passion in athletics with all of our ability, we should equally be pursuing our relationship with God because as Paul writes, the crowns of our sport will not last, but the crown of Christ will last forever.

What this means for us as coaches and players is that we ought to play the game differently than the average baseball player does.  We must buy in to the following values: Hustle, Attitude, and Toughness.  When other teams, parents, umpires, and coaches watch us play, we aspire for them to notice a difference in the way we play the game.  We play for a higher purpose.  We do not take our God-given talents for granted.  We play every pitch as if it were our last.  Our coaches and players hustle on and off the field at all times. We have good attitudes, encourage one another, and respond appropriately both to victory and adversity.  Finally, we play the game with an unrivaled toughness, both physically and mentally.

Our program is open to all players, whether they grew up in the Church or have no faith at all.  We see our role as exposing our players to what a relationship with Christ looks like and how that impacts there lives a young men and athletes.

We attempt to accomplish this through team prayer, bible studies, community service, and fellowship events outside of baseball.

• Late May through mid July.
• Two practices weekly, two hours each at Macken Park in NKC.
• Dedicated coach for pitcher only's to maximize their practice time and development.
• Four coaches at each practice.
• Six tournaments in total. Most take place at Creekside/Homefield and one that occurs in NW Arkansas.

The most important summer for a high school player in regards to preparation is the summer leading into their freshman year of college. These days, we often see players opt to not play, play in a league with no practicing, or just "train" individually. These options do not produce fruit in ensuring that players are ready to compete with 18-23 year olds.

We are a firm believer in continuing to play a standard 18U schedule that focused on practice, development, competing often, and holding our players accountable to ensure they are ready to compete when they step foot on campus.

We typically carry 14-15 position players and 4-7 pitcher only's. Every position player is guaranteed one start per week and pitcher only's are guaranteed an appearance (start or relief). We tend to hit 10-11 players per game.

What players earn beyond the guarantee is based on performance and team need.

The cost to play is $2,175 for Summer 2027.  We typically break this into a monthly payment plan as seen below:
