Mission Statement

Our Purpose:

Force Baseball exists to use baseball as a vehicle to drive the growth & development of all it's members from the players on the field, to the coaches in the dugout to the parents & fans in the stands. Our concerns are primal, communal & holistic. We strive to keep our purpose at the forefront of all that we do & are. It governs our thoughts & actions keeping us of like mind & constantly motivated. We strive for excellence in all that we do & realize that who we are is a constant representation of what we are.

We long to see the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual development of our players & each other as leaders. Our end goal isn't to produce winning ballplayers, but fully matured men that will one day stand upon our shoulders, being able to reach greater heights than even we imagined. This is only accomplished together, realizing each other's unique gifts & qualities & celebrating them rather than searching out other's like us.

Force baseball. Primal in purpose. Communal in effort. Holistic in approach.

Our principles:

Excellence

If the game teaches us nothing else, it should be that our very being should strive for excellence in all that we do. To be satisfied w/anything less, is to negate the very basis of our being. The game itself begins & ends w/this continuous pursuit, w/each outing providing another opportunity to capture this very elusive virtue.

Strength

Our greatest strength should be seen as something that runs much deeper than any physical attribute or characteristic finely honed in any gym. When steeled; it drives to overcome in spite of the odds, maximizes & makes potential limitless & is always elusively intangible. It also becomes communal property when different parts of the whole bind themselves tightly to one another to reach for common goals.

So, let us all be mindful of our greatest resource & provider of true strength. It isn't present in the muscle-bound or any other visible source, but runs eternal w/in us all. Bound tightly together w/like mind no obstacle will be able to stop us.

Dedication

True integrity begins w/a very conscious decision to lessen the thoughts of self to adhere to the greater good & purpose of something much larger & more important than we could ever be alone. Dedication embodies this very decision & makes doing what's right often times the most difficult thing to do, but grows us in ways that are often times immeasurable. More important than any other skill, dedication forms a very sound base from which a healthy purpose driven self can thrive.

Truth

While the decision to be dedicated is of primal importance, what to be dedicated to is of even greater importance. Baseball is a game governed by absolutes & we believe that truth is as well. It's what leads, guides & directs our every step & is at the very heart of us all. Individuality yields itself to this universal principal that we know to be, true.

Our People:

Just like a big family, Force Baseball revels in the differences inherent in all of us as strengths rather than weaknesses. We realize that we're not perfect, have it all figured out or know what's best for another, but collectively we are able to achieve much more than we ever could individually. We all want the same things & have come to find value in each other & realize the very cherished commodity that community provides.
