NorcaL East/Curve Junior Baseball    First and foremost, the program is a player development organization for players who love baseball and aspire to be the best they can be. Players must be coachable and show a willingness to listen, learn, and implement the techniques they are taught. The program is a competitive program, meaning the Fall Ball season and the Spring Training Academy’s will be the tryouts to determine which players will be invited for the summer league and travel tournament program.  When selecting players, the coaches look for athletic ability and baseball skills. Players must also demonstrate outstanding character, hustle, leadership, positve attitude and a burning desite to be the best they can possibly be. They must exude a "team first" mentality and be excellent teamates. These characteristics are all very important attributes and must haves to play in this organization.
