Mission Statement

NorCal Honey Badger Mission Statement “There can be no victory without integrity” is the guiding philosophy of the NorCal Honey Badgers Organization. We believe that our greatest contribution is in teaching young people the values of competition: to make a commitment, to work hard, to strive for excellence, to sacrifice to make the team better, and to be the best you can be as a person and as an athlete.

    We believe that our job is to develop the total person, and not just the athlete. Our players learn to respect the game of fastpitch softball and all who are involved in it. Our idea of a perfect game is one in which only the players and the game are noticed; The coaches and umpires seem to disappear. Softball is fun because of the relationships that are formed on the field, the team unity, and the ability to accomplish a common goal together as a team. As a member of NorCal Honey Badgers,  players will learn about commitment, success, trust, respect, pride, attitude, motivation, responsibility, discipline, mental toughness and integrity.

 NorCal Honey Badgers Pledge to its players and parents:
 Provide a healthy, productive and structured environment for its players to learn and compete in the game of fastpitch softball;
 Promote team chemistry and teach the importance of achieving success through teamwork;
 Provide a unique, positive atmosphere for accomplished athletes to develop their skills while building confidence, self-esteem and mental toughness;
Stress the importance of academic excellence as it relates to competitive sports and to a successful future;
Develop highly competitive softball teams with players that exemplify the meaning of selflessness and teamwork To become a nationally recognized fastpitch softball organization that competes in some of the most prestigious tournaments in the country.

 Our 16U and 18U teams are managed by experienced professionals and former college players, and our players benefit from a staff with a combined 15+years experience in tournament fastpitch softball.

 Our coaching staff offers state-of-the-art instruction in all aspects of the game, and private hitting instruction with video and digital software currently in use by some of the largest college programs in the country. We stress the importance of all fundamental skills that are essential to success at the collegiate levels.

Our players also work with professional speed & agility coaches, as well as with a professional mental skills coach to give them an edge against their competition. Our players receive the highest level of exposure by participating in some of the most prestigious recruiting tournaments in the country, those which are not available to many travel teams. We market our players to the coaching community through weekly e-mails and telephone contacts to over 100 college coaches, an effort that few other teams can match.
