Hoover Baseball Intro

We are looking forward to a great season. We have two big goals that we'll talk about with the kids a lot. We want to...

1. Help everyone on the team have fun.

2. Get better at baseball by learning, practicing and playing to our best ability.

If the coaches, families & players all try to do these two things, we'll have a great year.

You may have noticed that "winning" isn't one of our big goals this year. Lots of times in youth baseball, a groundball is hit to the pitcher, who then runs to first base instead of throwing the ball there. The result may be an "out" but it doesn't teach kids how to play the game. We are going to cheer really loud when our kids make the right play, regardless of the outcome. We'll all be glad that we took this approach in a few years.
