“Summer baseball is a timeless ritual that blends the intense discipline of competitive play with the nostalgic, leisurely rhythm of long, warm days. It fosters character through hard work, creates lasting bonds through shared passion, and offers a sanctuary from daily life. This circuit is extremely competitive, so be ready to Compete.

Our College Prep Summers embodies the spirit of growth, grit, joy mixed with a passion to get our players to the next level!

So here it is… It’s GO TIME!

From Start to… oh wait we are not DONE YET!

9/17/2019…

The day I had to write some of the hardest words I have ever had to express and then share to others. It still to do this feels like a bad dream. A dream of a young man’s future was taken from all of us far too soon.

You may not know this but being the little tag along to your brother was God’s way to showing you that his dreams would one day become yours due to his passing.

These words were hard to write, but the last thing I wrote to you, your mom, brother & sister was this:

“I am going to miss you kiddo, but I promise you this one thing...

I will always be here for your family just like I always have. I will continue to Love Jaylen like I always have. I also wish you knew how much you meant to not just me but to my son and your teammates. They too will make sure to play in your honor always and forever.”

I spoke these words a day or two later at your brother’s wake. Hardest moment in my life was this. Having to say goodbye to a son, a brother, a teammate and my player. Knowing this and knowing our bond was deeper than just baseball.

It’s been late night hitting sessions, tournaments, going to games, becoming your HS coach, making sure you had everything you needed to be successful in this game. This is hard because you damn near are the son I never actually had.

I am grateful for you, your mom, siblings and although it is hard knowing one person is gone but his legacy still lives through us all.

I am so damn proud of you Kid. I will never stop caring, I will always be here for you as one of your biggest FANS. I hope you know by my actions not just the words that I love Jaylen. This is just the beginning of what God has architected in his plan. You are a driving force in my life, one who has motivated me to be a better coach, a better dad and a better person. You have shown me and a lot of other’s what WILL & Determination actually look like in real time.

(Hard to write with all this moisture falling from my eyes)

I love you KID, NOW GO BE GREAT!

You are another shinning example of the term Best Speed Bred!

Circle of Winners!

Big Congrats to our U-17 squad for capturing the @fivetoolcalifornia World Series in sweeping fashion. The group went 5-0 on the week/end outscoring their opponents 33 runs to 8 total in the five games.

These young men really stepped up to the plate after having to adjust our schedule for the two groups (‘27/‘28 class). Total record of 20-4.

A lot of positive vibes and opportunities on the horizon for these dudes.

Huge shoutout to our entire staff on a job well done!
