High School Prep Program:
The High School Prep Program is designed to give all of our 7U-14U players a program where they can develop a "Love of the game", personal acountability, work ethic, skill set, and overall athleticism to have the opportunity to play at the high school level. The High School Prep Program is designed to help players learn the value of teamwork, personal accountability, and commitment to something bigger than yourself while growing in the game. The 7U-9U groups will focus on learning the overall basic fundamentals of the game at a young age while challenging them during practice and competition by playing a competitive schedule that will require our players to apply the skills they have learned at a high level to be successful. As they progress through the program to 10U-14U, the players will be challenged to grow by learning more advanced skill sets and how to apply them to game situations to become true "students" of the game. Our High School Prep Programs mission is to provide our players with dedicated coaches who will help to encourage our young players to excel in a fun but challenging atmosphere. Being the foundation of our program, it is our mission to help our players develop an understanding of personal accountability while displaying a strong work ethic as a member of the team. Our High School Prep Program is designed to give our players who commit to it the skill sets, work ethic, and personal accountability to be athletes at the high school level. The 7U-14U programs will consist of;

Competition
- All Razorback Baseball Club teams will strive to compete against the best competition possible. It is our goal as an organization to challenge our players on and off the field to reach their full potential by scheduling competition that will challenge us to perform at a high level to be successful. This program will not chase trophies. We want to teach our players to compete. We want our players to experience failure throughout the process. To succeed at the highest level, our players will need to learn at a young age how to grow by overcoming adversity by being challenged and overcoming failure. We want to teach them how to refuse to lose.
Exposure

This will allow our players the ability to gain exposure and opportunities based on their overall success on the field. This will also give our players a common goal to strive for as a team.
