We aren't even allowed to host a Regional competition. Successful programs fund themselves and their improvements by working with the community via sponsorships and fundraising efforts. No presence in the community. No Varsity coaches ever attend youth games, Jr. High games, or run clinics or camps for young players. Then they wonder why most talent ends up at JCA or Providence.
Good coaches retain the trust and respect of their players.
No Pitching Coach or pitching knowledge in the program. Worse yet, not properly teaching these things leads to injuries that are being seen throughout the pitching staffs at every level. Most of these problems only came to the surface this year since it takes 4-5 yrs of control of a program to either improve it or destroy it. The current Head Coach has been in charge for 5 seasons. Only after the 2001 season was over was it actually installed.
