Mission Statement

The EDH Vipers were founded in 2001 to provide an opportunity for serious baseball players to have an opportunity to play the best baseball available.  Since that time, we've grown to three teams and have focused on providing opportunities for our players to maximize their potential of playing baseball beyond high school.  Our primary goal is to assist as many players as possible in achieving their dream of making it to the next level, and using baseball to obtain a better college education opportunity.
