The Mission of Central Florida Elite Baseball:
We support the doctrine of "athletes first, winning second." We believe that success is the fruit of camaraderie, hard work, discipline, structure, enjoyment and a willingness to maintain a character initiative on and off the field of play. We believe in community and competition. With every decision we make, we make it for the kids. Without a doubt, We foster and promote the advancement of youth athletics through our service of providing competitive youth baseball training, character education, player health and dynamic performance fitness opportunities. We believe it is common sensethat a youth program should implement fun, and our league leaders have a proven track record of making competitive baseball enjoyable.
Most important, We must teach our athletes that "Failure is our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing!" - Denis Waitley
We will emphasize the following principles:
- Fundamental preparation.
- Dynamic performation preparation - Health, Agility, Quickness and Reaction.
- Practice, but practice the correct technique and mechanics.
- Appreciate the important role practice plays in player development.
- Communicate and implement the game's basic strategies.
- Earn your playing time and your situational positions.
- Never apologize for being prepared; be it school, athletics or life.
- Maintain good grades in order to participate with your team. Demonstrate the traits of good character as a person; on and off the field.
- Pursue victory with honor, even when your opponent doesn't. Camaraderie defines the essence of a team. A team defines the essence of the individual.
- Appreciate the fact that you're healthy and can play this GAME!
- Be grateful you have a supportive family allowing you this privilege. You're not perfect - accept mistakes as just opportunities to learn. Encourage and facilitate character-education and life lessons through sports!
Play Ball!
