Mission Statement
The Bay State Braves program is designed to help youth players develop important fundamental skills and gain a deeper understanding of the game of baseball. We are looking for athletes who want to learn how to play the game the right way; through consistent effort and a commitment to not only their own success, but the success of their teammates as well.
Our Goals as a Program
-
help your child develop as a baseball player, both mentally and physically
-
develop a competitive team that represents the hard work each and every player puts forth during practices and games
-
begin to develop a sense of accountability and responsibility for one’s actions particularly in a team environment
-
show youth players how to uphold a strong sense of sportsmanship with our coaches leading by example
-
to be able to look back over a season and see that everyone has grown not only as baseball players but as members of society as well
Our Evaluation Process
-
our unique approach to evaluating new players removes much of the stress and hit or miss characteristics of large-group tryouts
-
each evaluation is booked for half an hour so that the coach can answer any questions the player or parent may have while assessing skills
-
evaluations consist of playing catch, fielding ground balls, hitting, and if the player is a pitcher or catcher we may ask them to throw a few pitches or catch a few throws
