Philosophies
At the FORT, the baseball program’s goal is to help our student athletes become better individuals both on and off the field. We have an expectation that every athlete who comes through our program will conduct himself in a manner that not only represents him in a positive way, but also represents our baseball program and community in the most favorable manner.
As a coaching staff, we will do whatever we can to help student athletes achieve goals, as well as give them the tools to meet these expectations.
Our baseball student athletes are expected to have and show these attributes listed below:
