Our coaching philosophy is to ensure the kids are having fun and learning to love the game of baseball. We strive to teach them the fundamentals, while ensuring they learn sportsmanship, self-confidence, and pride. We rely very much on our parents to assist in reinforcing sportsmanship, and remembering, "it's about the kids." All the Bel Passi 5-6 Rockies will have equal playing time, and will be exposed to each of the various positions, both during practice, and in the game. So check out the web site and we'll see ya at the ballpark!
