 Dedicate our time to mentoring youth through athletics, while striving to improve their overall health, character and
discipline as they grow into adolescents and adults
Our Goals and Objectives
 Continued drive towards perfection.
 Produce nationally competitive athletes by applying consistent methods of training practices
 Viewed as a respectful and organized club (including athletes and parents)
 Provide an environment for both the athletes and their parents in which they can rest assured they are receiving the
