Each team was provided 2 field practices a week on various high school fields in the surrounding area and 1 practice a week in a first class 16,000 square foot indoor academy. The coaches of all teams have sufficient baseball or softball experience and knowledge and must undergo a background check. The organization provided 3 coaching clinics withh outside professionals to come in to share best practices and the newest training methods and practice programs to assist the coaches in managing their individual teams. Each baseball player under 15 years old received 5 individual lessons from qualified professionals at titians sports academy. Each team also participates in 6 week winter workout program. All players in the program baseball and softball received membership in baseball/softball connect which is a recruiting site for players to help them find a place to play their sport in college.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
