Mission Statement The Wallingford Panthers is a youth baseball organization consisting of a joint venture of Yalesville and Wallingford youth baseball programs. The Panthers are one of the founding members of the Central Connecticut Fall Baseball League (CCFBL) The Panthers are promoting baseball through correct fundamental training and development of baseball skills. This foundation will hopefully provide success into his/her high school or later careers. The Wallingford Panthers are NOT associated or subsidized by any national youth baseball organization. Panthers Structure The original intent, based on the kid’s input, was to seek other competitive teams in the area so that they can become better players for the following spring season. The training is setup so that the player's performance had to meet the higher expectations set by the coaching staff. Position playing time is competitive among teammates. Basically, "Kids pushing Kids" to perform the correct skills. Playing time is decided by the coaching staff, there are no minimum playing time rules. Kids must earn their playing time in the eyes of the coaching staff. Six divisions will be provided based on April 30th, 2008 age. The Panthers reserves the right to place child on a team based on their skill level. We reserve the right to limit the number of team and players in the program based on the number of qualified coaches that step forward. Here is a great article on "Winning With Class" Baseball Tip Winning With Class In growing up and participating in sports, there is consistent emphasis placed on being a good loser. "Keep your head up, learn from your mistakes, get 'em next time!" All of these are common phrases associated with losing with dignity. While handling defeat is important, a big part to becoming a champion is learning how to win. With today's professional sports filled with egos and attitudes, showboating and taunting, you as a champion must understand how to win with class. Winning with class means respecting your opponent, being gracious and humble, and carrying yourself as if you have done this before. Celebration is okay. In fact, it's natural to feel good after you've won. But just as it feels great to win, it is very difficult to lose. Winning with class shows that you understand the pains of defeat and do not intend to step on another player when they are down. Your opponent will respect you much more if you control your emotions and show dignity, rather than rub their noses in it with brash behavior and self-glorifying gestures and dances. You will be a champion! You will win many awards, receive great report cards, and win many games. You will be a leader and a role model amongst your friends. Winning with class will help you to remain grounded and respectful of others, and it will help others to respect you and remember how fun it was to play against you. So, the next time you see a basketball player talking trash after a dunk, or a football player dancing and shouting after a tackle, place yourself in the shoes of the loser and remember how it feels to have a game winning home run hit off of you. And when you strike out the final batter of a well-pitched victory, pump your fist in celebration, and then carry yourself as a mature person who has won before. Always shake your opponents hand, and be conscious of how a true champion is to act. Over the course of your playing days, you will find yourself in many winning dugouts, and you will experience your share of losses. But when your name is in lights and you are the one collecting multi-million dollar paychecks, those that you've beaten on your path to the big leagues will remember you as a fierce competitor and a gracious champion. They will proudly and happily say to their friends: "Man, I used to lose to that guy all the time!" This tip was contributed by Dan Keller (Lifeletics Sports Instruction / www.lifeletics.com).
