Renegades

We strive to teach the skills of the game with a positive attitude and use positive reinforcement to allow the players to become successful.

In addition to teaching baseball skills, our coaches emphasize the concepts of good sportsmanship, fair play and winning and losing graciously.

Our baseball program is designed to provide our players with the opportunity to learn these concepts and apply them for the rest of their lives.

While being a great baseball player is a tremendous short-term goal for our players, being a great person is the long-term goal for all of our players.

Everybody likes to win, but we share the perspective that having fun while playing your best is our main goal at WHC.
