The Candlewood Valley Baseball Club
|
We are a unique, nonprofit
(tax exempt-501c3)
organization dedicated to developing student athletes in
the greater Danbury, Connecticut area.
At the core of our program are three very important attributes:
ü
Academics
Players are required to carry a 3.0 GPA and demonstrate a
strong commitment to academic excellence. Our players have
received countless accolades for their accomplishments in the
classroom, including honor roll, national honor society, and
presidential awards.
ü
Community
Service
Players are required to perform a minimum 25 hours of community
service each year. To date we’ve assisted on a wide range of
community projects, helping a variety of organizations including
mental rehabilitation groups, city governments, and local youth
programs. We’ve done it all - from cleaning the local streets and
maintaining city parks to mentoring youngsters and the mentally
handicapped!
ü
Competitive
Baseball
As members of Elite Championship Tournament Baseball (E.C.T.B –
USSSA Affiliate) we participate at the highest levels of our
sport, we compete in the
Hudson Valley League (H.V.L - U15 Division) which features the
finest baseball talent in the area. We also showcase our talents
in the many national invitational tournaments sanctioned by
E.C.T.B, AAU, & USA Baseball that are held throughout the
country.
Our 2007 top five national ranking (U14) and the recognition for
our work within the community are proof positive that we are on
the right path to developing the finest community minded,
student-athletes in the northeast.
