Mission

THE MISSION OF THE HAMPTON ROADS HURRICANES TRAVEL BASEBALL ASSOCIATION, CANES, SHALL BE TO HELP PROMOTE AND MAINTAIN HIGH MORAL CHARACTER IN THE CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE TEACHING OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, HONESTY, LOYALTY, COURAGE, TEAMWORK, AND RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY. WE BELIEVE BASEBALL IS A FUN AND CHALLENGING GAME THAT REQUIRES PLAYERS TO DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO OVERCOME MISTAKES AND TO LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. THE CANES ORGANIZATION WILL ASK PLAYERS TO WORK HARD TOWARD EXCELLENCE, NOT PERFECTION. ULTIMATELY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AND TEAM FOCUSED PLAY WILL BE THE GUIDELINE FOR OUR PROGRAM, WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL CREATE BETTER BASEBALL PLAYERS AND RESULT IN OUR ATHLETES BECOMING LEADERS WITHIN THEIR TEAM, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY. CANES FAMILIES, COACHES, AND BOARD MEMBERS ARE COMMITTED TO COACHING PROPER FUNDAMENTALS AND FOSTERING COMPETITIVE PLAYING OPPORTUNITIES, SO THAT ALL PLAYERS GROW IN THEIR ABILITIES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME WITHIN A SAFE AND SUPPORT
