2025 Mustang Travel Overview

Commitment and Expectations:

-Player and parent commitment required to make the season successful

-Player attendance and positive attitude are critical

-Focus on other players and make sure a team can be fielded for all games

-Players to always help teammates with positive encouragement

-Playing time may be limited in the event of absences or behavioral issues

Parent volunteers needed:

-Team parent to collect regular feedback on team dynamics and report back real time to WBA in a constructive manner

-Help organize outside trips (if any) and coordinate travel season logistics

-Coach spring house league teams-notify me immediately if interested as it fills up

-Always stay positive in front of the players – channel feedback through team parent or WBA board. Stay out of the dugout, and do not provide advice or criticize coaches or umpires during games. Sit down the line and enjoy it-it ends all too quickly.

 WBA is a non-profit and its board is 100% volunteer based
