About us

To instill values in our athletes, through our selfless coaches, that reflect a vision of excellence, both on and off the field.

Those values are:

Respect.
For the game, the positions they play, their teammates, family, coaches, opponents, community, and themselves.

Commitment.
Unwavering dedication to being the best they can be; believing in their teammates and relentlessly pursuing mutual success.

Discipline.
Being consistent in their drive toward excellence and encouraging their teammates to do the same. Together, they are strategic and tactical in their approach.

Leadership.
Understanding that there are times one must lead and times when one must be led. Being thoughtful when it is time to lead and when it’s time to be led; embrace the responsibility of both.

Growth.
Encouraging the strive for excellence on the field, in the classroom and in their personal activities. A rising tide lifts all ships. They must understand their responsibility to raise the tide.

Passion.
From their hearts, to their minds, to the field, and beyond. Their effort is unbridled.

Being an athlete on a team provides a lifetime experience. The skills one learns will make them successful in life. Together, we have a responsibility to our athletes in providing the culture that promotes the said values.
