North Texas Power
2nd Chance High School Baseball Opportunity
The North Texas Power are looking for high school baseball players to form high school level teams to work on development and play a 15-20 game schedule this spring, 2013. If you are interested in developing your baseball skills, playing a competitive high school schedule, and continuing to play when circumstances may have left you out of your high school program; please contact us for a "2nd Chance" opportunity to play!
CONCEPT
To build a baseball organization that is available to players that have been cut from their high school teams and/or their schools do not provide baseball programs. Many good ball players are left behind each year from schools that could be playing if they were given that "Longer Look" or "2nd Chance" during tryouts. By forming teams, these players can greatly benefit from practicing regularly and playing a game schedule against area schools. "2nd Chance" players would have the opportunity to develop and apply their skills to increase their chances of making their school teams in the future.
MISSION
To offer more opportunities to more baseball players to learn, develop, and apply skills, determination, and desire on the playing field as well as to create a competitive environment that replicates a high school program/season in an effort to pass on the true essence of the great game of baseball.
ROSTER
The team will consist of committed players who are dedicated and determined to continue pursuing their dreams of playing the great game of baseball. The goal is to field teams of high school players that will practice regularly , work on speed and agility drills, and strength and conditioning in order to become a better athlete.
SEASON FORMAT
Players will play by High School Baseball rules. All lineups, substitution rules, and uniform policies follow exact High School baseball rules. The spring will consist of a 15-20 game schedule against private schools and home school teams.

We enourage our players to continue developing their skills at the highest level they possibly can, continue playing the game, and continue striving every January to make their High School squad.
