Our Program Vision is to impact lives through leadership and through baseball.
At National Amateur Fall Baseball Federation, we are passionate about amateur baseball in North America. We’re convinced that there are some important things missing from typical amateur baseball leagues:
A commitment to a high level of excellence in the baseball program itself.
A strong emphasis on the quality of character and leadership, being as important as the quality of game skills.
An open integration of leadership values as a developmental force in the lives of young athletes
Through NAFBF Baseball, we have developed an amateur baseball program that addresses those missing pieces. There are three core value concepts that drive our approach: Leadership, Character, and Excellence.
Character Matters
Baseball is an incredible platform through which to teach valuable life-impacting lessons to boys and young men — sportsmanship, team work, and learning how to walk in both confidence and humility are just a few examples. In many ways, those lessons are more important than simply learning the physical skills of the game. Unfortunately, character building is not within the skill set or focus of many amateur coaches and amateur baseball programs. Ugly competitiveness, disrespecting other teams, and poor behavior by some coaches are too often the norm.
Excellence Matters
To quote Major League player and manager Buck Rodgers: “There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.”
We totally agree! Providing an environment that is committed to excellence - from game play, to the technology that we use. It has a dramatic, positive impact on how young men respond to the game. That kind of environment also teaches about the tie between achievement and commitment to excellence – a lesson that will stay with the young player the rest of his life.
NAFBF is committed to doing everything with excellence in order to provide the best learning environment for our players.
We couldn’t be more excited about all that is already happening – but there is much more to come!
