We truly care about developing our athletes past sportsmanship by instilling leadership values, a teamwork mentality, problem-solving skills, self-confidence, & character. Sportsmanship is an understanding of and commitment to fair play, ethical behavior, integrity, respect of officials and coaches, and general goodwill toward an opponent. It is an declaration that an athlete is disciplined enough to have perspective, maintain self-control, and do what is best for his or her teammates. Parents, coaches, and team leaders are an essential part of maintaining group sportsmanship and composure.

We are a 100% volunteer 501(c)(3) organization who rely on the generosity of our volunteers who give their time to the kids in our community, established in 1977. All donations & sponsorship money goes directly to our kids. Unlike some youth sports organizations, our board of directors do not receive any type of salary. We offer the following youth sports programs for ages 4 to 13 years old- Baseball & Softball (Spring and Fall), Football (Fall), Basketball (Winter), Cheerleading (Fall). Child safety is our number one priority. All coaches, team parents, & board members undergo annual background checks.
