The Spikes Baseball Club accomplishes its mission by teaching its players certain fundamental principles required for success in baseball and in life.  Below are the principles and expectations that guide us:

​

TEAM: Spikes put team first. The club believes that learning to be a good teammate is a crucial part of the overall development of the individual player.  

​

BROTHERHOOD: Spikes have each others' backs and support their teammates through good times and bad.  While not all Spikes will become friends, many will develop relationships that last a lifetime.

​

DISCIPLINE: Spikes display good baseball discipline. Our coaches demand certain actions on the field; e.g., running on and off the field, sprinting out of the batter's box, no arguing with umpires, no show-boating, no showing up others, no throwing of equipment and no use of profanity.

​

BASEBALL IQ:  Spikes learn the finer points of the game. As baseball players develop, the mental aspects of the game become more and more important and will create a competitive edge if learned and applied properly. Put simply, baseball requires good thinking in addition to good physical skills.

​

RESPECT THE GAME:  Baseball has been around since the 1800's.  Over the years, the game has become more than our nation's pastime;  it has become a way of passing on important values and traditions from one generation to the next. Spikes respect the history of the sport and realize that the game is larger than any individual.  As a result, Spikes are expected to play the game with a 

combination of humility and confidence, always bringing their best attitude and effort to the field.
