FLAMES BASEBALL
"Yes, at the competitive level baseball is a game played to be won.
Yet, if it is played to be won at all costs,
then the costs are far too high for heart, soul and spirit."
Jim Meier
Our MISSION STATEMENT!!!!!!!
Welcome to the home of the Grand Rapids Flames travel baseball club. Our Flames Travel Baseball Club Mission Statement: The Flames Baseball Club teaches young people the fundamentals of baseball in a safe, positive, Christian-based environment. Our coaches, players and parents ALWAYS treat each other with respect, dignity and love. Our coaches teach fundamentals, and look out for the betterment of the team; our parents, as the ultimate role models, encourage ALL team members, and are positive in words and actions; and our players encourage teammates, respect umpires and tournament/league officials and give 100 percent at practices, games and Flames activities. Everyone involved with the Flames Baseball Club understands that baseball is a great game, but ultimately our goal is to help our sons become strong, Christian believers who will use their gifts and talents to do great things in the name of the Lord.
--John and Pam Gonzalez

Also, when using our practice facility, The Barn, please remember to bring some cash ($1 or $2 each time you have practice or use the Barn). The cost of propane has gone up. And remember to keep the place clean. The owners of the Barn have allowed us to use the facility rent-free. But we have to maintain it.
