Parents Guidelines

• We lead by example. Try to keep negative comments about umps etc in check.
• One voice on the ball field – Don’t coach from the bleachers or during practices.
• Only coaches and players in dugout, on fields, in practice facilities and surrounding areas.
• When your son is pitching or hitting, try to stay out of sight.
• Don’t cheer too much or get too excited.
• I will talk to a parent about an issue only after I talk to the player about it.
• No issues will be addressed until twenty four hours pass.
• Make sure your player spends lots of time outside of practice playing baseball.

Please try to get your child to practice and games on time. I know this can be difficult at times and impossible at other times, but it’s really important that your player gets properly warmed up for games and practices to prevent injury. It is also difficult to conduct practice or get ready for a game when players continually show up late. If you know your child will be late or won’t be able to make it to a practice or game, please let your coach know in advance if possible.

Please also read St. Louis Cardinal manager and four time gold glove catcher Mike Matheny’s thoughts on parents approach to baseball.

Player Guidelines

• Respect everyone.
• Stay on the bench.
• Watch the game.
• No food or gum on bench.
• Be on time and be ready.

We formed our first team in 2007 to keep a group of great nine year olds together so they could continue to have fun and learn the game of baseball. Our oldest team still has guys that have been playing together since they were six. We believe in developing a good team dynamic and surrounding our players with the most positive coaches and positive families. Players will only begin to feel successful after they feel comfortable and the have to be having fun.

Dragon Baseball is all about:

• A positive environment
• Fair playing time and plenty of opportunities
• Professional instruction
• Developing complete athletes and well rounded kids
• Knowledgeable, well trained coaches
• Clear goals and good communication with our families
• Strength and speed training in fall and winter to supplement baseball training

We fielded 12 teams in 2014.

Dragons Baseball Camp is for players 7-12 who want to learn the techniques that will have an impact on their performance. Work with professional hitting and pitching instructors as you learn the skills to take your game to the next level. We will work on skills and drills that will make you a better travel player or an all-star of your house league. Topics will include hitting for average and power, throwing velocity, aggressive baserunning and pitching for consistency.

Details:

Camp will be held at the baseball complex at Benedictine University
