South Dayton Sting Baseball Club Mission Statement:
The South Dayton Sting is a select baseball program for young men from the Dayton, Ohio, area. The Sting teaches fundamental baseball principles and strives to see incremental skill improvements from all involved. It is our mission to tutor players in an environment which stresses competiton, fun, sportsmanship, and work ethic. The ultimate goal of the Sting is to produce quality young men ready to play the game of baseball at the highest levels. We currently have teams competing at the 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, and 12U levels. Play will resume in the spring of 2009 in the Midwest Ohio Baseball League (formerly the Metro).
****Potential players for their relevant age group cannot have their next birthday prior to May 1, 2009. For information about anything baseball related please e-mail Tim Dunaway at tdunaway4eagle@sbcglobal.net

3. A few insights for moving around and finding information on the Sting site. Each age group has their own section with all applicable games and practices listed on the top of this page. Directions to various parks can be found under locations on this site or on the MWOBL website which is listed under the links tab. Also, you can access your specific team information (eg. roster, stats, schedule, etc.) by clicking on the drop down box in each category and selecting the team you want. Any questions contact Coach Tim anytime.
4. Corporate donations: The South Dayton Sting receives about half the money it takes to operate select baseball teams from corporate sponsorships. Companies and individuals who would like to help out financially are encouraged to contact the appropriate age group coordinator. Any corporation, business, or individual who donates a minimum of $250.00 receives the following in exchange. Name on the website under the sponsors section, name on the team banner, framed team picture, thank you letter, and a follow-up letter. If you know someone who has interest in becoming a donor for the Sting please have them contact the relevant age group sponsor representative, Jim Yerkins (8U), Scott Bussard (9U), Mike Conley (10U), Ed Crouchley (11U), or Nick Giallombardo (12U). We can use financial help any time of the year.
5. Fundraisers-Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated!
6. The Sting would like to extend a thank you to our partners/sponsors for the July 4th tournament this year. Our partner in presenting the event was the Centerville-Washington Township Americana Festival and our title sponsor was WesBanco. We are grateful to have had their assistance this past year and we look forward to working with them next year.
