We would appreciate your support, and we hope we can count on you this year. The team members of the Westchester County Clippers Baseball Club would like to extend an opportunity for you to help their team pursue their dream of competing against the finest players and teams in this area as well as the country.

Team Philosophy
We aspire to create an environment that will allow the players to perform at the highest level of their abilities and to create memories that they and their families will look back on with great fondness and joy. ?            ?            

To create such an environment, we believe that all players, coaches, parents and spectators have to conduct themselves in a manner that honors the game of baseball and reflects all the principles of good sportsmanship.?            ?            

The basic philosophy of the Westchester County Clippers Baseball program is that we want to develop baseball players and mold them into the hardest playing group in travel baseball. We want to be able to take pride in the fact that no other baseball program will work harder than we do.?

This philosophy serves two purposes: First, by practicing and playing at a highly competitive level, we bring honor in a way that set us apart from the cultural norms and provides a visual example of excellence. Secondly, we believe that hard work teaches discipline and that discipline in turn teaches humility. In humility, we learn more and more of our own weaknesses, which teaches us to depend on each other.

MISSION
To establish a baseball program with a tradition of sustained excellence spiritually, academically, and athletically that is respected for its consistency and the character of its players.

VISION
We want to compete and be competitive at the State and National level. Most of all we would like to be the team that represents Westchester County, New York.
