Diego Garcia

Six years coaching players ages 7–13 with deep knowledge of the game and a culture-first approach — culture, development, winning, in that order. Diego runs the infield and pushes hustle and accountability every rep.

“Create a good atmosphere and lead by example — it will work itself out.”

The Program

What this season looks like

Fall 2026 (Optional)

Depending on player availability, the team may run a limited Fall 2026 season for additional reps and team building heading into Spring.

Spring 2027 Kickoff

Training begins January 2027 on the indoor turf at the Foxes facility inside Go For It Sports Dome — the home base for skill work, drills, and live reps through the winter.

Local League + Tournament

The Spring season runs a local league with a league championship tournament, plus friendly competition selected to fit the team's needs.

Forge-Backed Development

Significant training and development supported by the YYBSA Forge Model: Person → Competitor → Player. Built before built up.

Tournament Schedule

The team typically plays 5–7 tournaments across the season, with 1–2 of those being overnight travel events so players experience higher-level competition.
