CAROLINAS METRO TRANSCENDS SPORTS
WHAT WE OFFER: The basis of this
organization is to service our youth by providing a safe and
professional opportunity to learn and develop their skill in
baseball and softball, with extra emphasis
on disadvantaged young men and women. We have staff members that monitor the academic
progress of CAROLINAS METRO INC. players and
recommend solutions to their family. We offer a FREE tutorial service, health and wellness
training, physical fitness,
speed and agility classes. We
conduct workshops that entail various motivational speakers
concentrating on academics and the importance of SAT, ACT, FAFSA as
well as needed life skills: peer pressure, hygiene, TEAM concept,
business and finance.
Our
organization presents young men and women opportunities
that they would not receive under many circumstances. We want to
give them the necessary tools to become well rounded STUDENT/athletes
- productive young
men and women. Our organization
teaches the ethics amd life skills needed to become a champion, not only on the
field but in the classroom, place of business and life in general.
We have many
success stories! We are in production of a multi-media
presentation sharing video testimonials from those that
have participated in our organization. Our parent / player retention has
allowed our organization to grow and continue to flourish. Many of
our players and parents will tell you "we did not join a team - WE
JOINED THE METRO REDS FAMILY!"
WE ARE
GROWING! We founded
Carolinas Metro Inc. in 2006 with one 18U team, adding a 16U team in
2010 which successfully placed runner-up in the WNC 16U
State Tournament. Spring 2012 we had (2)18U teams, a 16U and added a
14U team. Our 14U team finished runner up in the 14U WNC State
Tournament.
Spring 2013 we added a 12U team and partnered with Stewards of the
Game and the Police Athletic League to fufill a season. We will
compete in an end of season tournament before moving on to WNC "All
Star" tournament play. Since 2006 our organization has offered the young men and young
women opportunities often not available. Our success has been achieved
with insight, ability and potential in those previously
overlooked by MANY! Our staff stands tall with the knowledge that our
teams compete with great competitive sportmanship and 9 out of 10 of our players have gone on to college
as students and many as student athletes.
Carolinas Metro
Baseball and Softball would like to thank you in advance for giving us the
opportunity to share our goal, in the hope that we can build on our
future and give our young men
and women an opportunity to become upstanding citizens.
