The SHOCKWAVE Baseball Program is a non-profit, independently operated organization developed to teach exceptional youth baseball players the advanced fundamentals of the game and expose them to a level of competition not otherwise available in the local recreational leagues.

Good Character, Commitment and Work Ethic will always be emphasized, required and measured in the form of Teamwork, Sportsmanship and Academics. The experience at this level of baseball and the coaching principles we have outlined for the program is intended to greatly accelerate their playing capability at the Middle/ High School and ultimately advance to the College level.
