NORCAL CGE BASEBALL MISSION STATEMENT
NorCal CGE's mission is to cultivate strong-minded players who play fearless baseball. We instill in our players the importance of Competing, Grinding and Executing. Its our goal to compete at the highest level, teaching players about the importance of putting in maximum effort in their training. Our approach to baseball is straightforward: we focus on teaching our players how to play with confidence.
WINNING IS NOT EVERYTHING BUT.. OUR TRAINING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
At CGE, our players always come first, regardless of the outcome of a game. We firmly believe in arm care and prioritize it above all else, ensuring that wins and losses never compromise this principle. Our team is intense, committed to rigorous training and tough coaching. Our coaching staff primarily includes experienced coaches—one non-dad and a father with a strong background in the sport. Instead of focusing on the quantity of teams, we prioritize building quality teams. While CGE does establish "second teams," this is only done when the coaching staff deems it appropriate.
HOW IS NORCAL CGE DIFFERENT?
CGE offers players the chance to compete at the "National Level." Over the years, travel baseball in the Bay Area has expanded, but the overall level of competition has declined. While there are many strong teams in the area, consistent matchups against them are lacking. That's why CGE is taking the next step with SoCal Perfect Game tournaments. The competition in Perfect Game NIT tournaments is significantly more intense. This is the level of baseball we're striving for, and we believe that the only way to improve is by facing greater challenges!

Practice Outline
