 NOTE: This website is designed strictly for the members of our organization.  Our organization DOES NOT recruit, nor do we take players from other teams.  We are not an organization that makes promises that we cannot keep... such as making promises to get scholarships to attend college to play ball.  However, many of our athletes have gone on to play at the college level.  Under the leadership and instruction of Coach "J" Bumagat, our main focus is to teach our student-athletes life lessons and get them to understand the importance of an education.  We do travel but we do not feel the need to travel and spend outrageous amounts of money to play for any National titles.  Our students play hard no matter where we go!  Our organization is extremely family oriented and is celebrating over 18 years of Academic and Athletic excellence.
