Why We formed the Huntington Angels

With that said, we ask parents to refrain from becoming "Arm chair coaches" Suggestions are always welcome, but a parent should never put undo pressure on any of our coaching staff to do things different to their original game plan. Travel baseball is different than any baseball our kids have every experienced. Yea, the uniforms and fields are great, but the level of competition will be much higher than any of our local little leagues. Our team will be playing in a league that is levels above where they have ever played before. For this reason, the key word must be TEAM WORK. All of our children I’m sure were the stars of their little league teams. At this level of baseball, no player should be viewed as bigger than the team. All positions are extremely important. Just because your child is asked to play outfield, does not mean he’s not good enough to play infield. It may mean that we need a GREAT outfielder! Parents, please do not put undo pressure on the coaches to play your son at a specific position. The life lesson here is teamwork. When a child is asked to play a position, they should run out there with a smile on their face, proud to be wearing the Angel’s colors. Help us instill this in them.

Lastly, please try to make as many of the scheduled practices and games. I know at times it may seem excessive, but if you look at other travel teams, our practice schedule may seem light! Practices are the only way we will grow together as a team. Keep in mind, our coaches and myself have put a great amount of time and money into hopefully making this a great experience for your child. From training with professional ball players, to renting of indoor facilities, we are giving it our all. Please take advantage of it!Looking forward to a successful summer and fall seasons!!!
