VA VIPERS BASEBALL

 

The goal of the VA Vipers is to develop skilled, competitive players that will be prepared to play at the high school level and beyond.   We will achieve this goal by building players to:

 

•  be a LEADER – Taking charge of a situation under pressure... paying the price in sweat, effort and sacrifice... showing the way through good example

 

•  be a SPORTSMAN – Showing enthusiasm, spirit and courage all the time... taking advice and criticism in an effort to improve... being humble and gracious both on and off the field... respecting your opponent in both victory and defeat

 

•  be a COMPETITOR – Possessing a deep determination and desire to win... having pride in yourself and never give up... getting up one more time than you are knocked down... being tougher than your opponent every play

 

•  be AGGRESSIVE – Stepping to the plate determined to hit the ball hard...hustling all the time, wanting to be # 1... playing with concentration, passion and intensity... always giving maximum effort.

 

•  be DEDICATED – Being well conditioned through proper training and diet... making every practice and working hard every play... studying your playbook to reduce mental errors... disciplining yourself to follow team rules and guidelines

 

•  be LOYAL – Thinking in terms of "we" instead of "I"... sacrificing for the good of the team... respecting the organization and your teammates
