DREAM Team Coaches

Our Mission as DREAM Team Coaches

At DREAM Team, our coaches are either current or past players and have a thorough understanding of them game. They are excited to coach these young athletes and watch them excel and grow on and off the field. We support our coaches in becoming certified in our Rapsodo Hitting and Pitching software so they are educated to train in the proper technique!

Our coaching philosophy is develop, develop, develop. Our coaches aim to focus on development of the player (fundamentals, athleticism, and skills) and person (character building & team-focused); our coaches strive to never sacrifice a player's long-term development for short-lived success.

Each practice contains one primary concept to build player development and before the team closes practice the players learn one motivating, character building principle!

DREAM Team believes that the game is to be played the right way and with a focus on dreaming big, working hard, and putting the team first (over self)!
