Commitment
Baseball is a difficult sport that requires effort, commitment and practice to achieve even a modest level of success. In order to achieve our MTBSA goal a Commitment Level is required by all involved. Participation at this level requires not only a commitment from every player, but a commitment from every parent & coach as well. Games are no longer in the neighborhood. Parents & coaches will be required to travel to game locations that are sometimes 45-60 minutes away. All we ask is that you support each other & your respective teams by making every effort to attend all practices & games on your schedule. In return, MTBSA & the CM program will commit to providing quality fields to play on, proper equipment and uniforms along with a top notch volunteer effort to ensure the kids enjoy their baseball experience to the fullest.
Our goal at MTBSA Connie Mack is to provide a quality program for all registered players to enjoy and experience. Bottom line is every registered player will be placed & play on a team.
