Mission Statement

Texas Dawgs Baseball, Inc., based in Katy Texas, was established in 2019. Texas Dawgs Baseball, Inc., a 501(c)(3) charity operates a youth baseball organization under the name of TD Edge Baseball.
 
It is the mission of Texas Dawgs Baseball, Inc., through TD Edge Baseball to strive for maximum development of its players both on and off the field. 
 
On the field, through practice and competition, we teach development of high level baseball skills and the importance of preparation, teamwork, good sportsmanship, attention to detail, confidence, appropriate responses to success and adversity and the development of leadership.  
 
Off the field, we emphasize the development of critical personal traits, including the ability to build trust based relationships, achieving strong academic results in school, exhibiting individual and team accountability and responsibility, developing communication skills and giving back to the community through service.
 
The organization achieves its goals with outstanding leadership from its founding members, its coaches and families of the players. Our organization sets a standard and we expect our players to strive to achieve that standard. Success in our mission is not optional; it is required. Players that follow our model will be successful ballplayers and young men.

Core Values Philosophy

 Achieving our standard requires our players to adhere to and always remain focused on our core values:

Determination:
An Edge player understands that both on the field and off the field they and the team will have moments of success, failure, opportunity and adversity and their response to these moments will define their character. In facing these moments, the player is expected to show great support as a teammate, a persistent commitment to excellence, a humble reaction to success, a self-motivation and consistent work ethic to respond to adversity and an even-tempered emotional response to all situations.

Accountability:
An Edge player understands what is expected of him on and off the field and takes seriously his commitments to family, coaches, teammates and the community.  Only by truly taking personal ownership of his actions can a player achieve complete success as a player and a young man.

Winning Attitude:
An Edge player understands that the organization’s culture requires him to always bring the right attitude. Any deviation in positive attitude will impact the culture and results of the team both on and off the field. When it comes to a winning attitude, the focus should always be on “We” never “Me”.

Gratitude:
An Edge player understands that the opportunity to play for the organization is a gift. It is a gift because of the commitment of time and money made by their family, the dedication to teaching and development offered by their coaches and the culture of the organization - all of which are designed to maximize their development as a ball player and young man. To show gratitude for the opportunity, the player will always strive to meet the required standards of the organization both on and off the field.   

Service:
An Edge player understands that being a person who gives back to his community is an important trait of a young man of character. All players will be required to participate in community service events and, in doing so, will learn the value of service.

Baseball Philosophy

TD Edge Baseball will seek outstanding on-field baseball development through the teaching of fundamentals, strong strategic acumen and appropriate emotional responses to competition.  

The organization is interested in preparing its players to ultimately compete at the high school level. Through the fundamental and situation teaching, practice and live game repetitions as well as developing the correct mental approach, we are confident that our players will be prepared to compete on the field at the high school level when it is time.

This approach coupled with our approach to character and off-field development is a tried and true method for success.
