Coaching baseball is hard, especially when the athlete is your own kid! The mission at DC is to make baseball fun again, by supporting a positive, safe, and developmental environment for ballplayers to grow as athletes and individuals. We do that through drill videos, practice plans, and training lessons, all built upon the philosophy that we CAN train champions and prepare them for the big leagues, while also ensuring that they have a smile on their face. It is our belief that the pressures, experiences, and adversities faced through this wonderful game teach life skills and character traits the way nothing else can.
