Taylor Croft

Head Coach

My name is Taylor Croft, and I am a USA C Certified Coach with extensive experience in coaching travel baseball, Cal Ripken Baseball, and serving as an assistant coach in Little League. I am passionate about continuously enhancing my skills and knowledge as a coach, as I firmly believe that ongoing learning is essential for effective coaching. Every child on the field possesses unique abilities and learning styles, and it is crucial to tailor coaching strategies to meet these diverse needs.

As a coach, I am dedicated to creating a balanced practice environment that combines efficient skill development with opportunities for live play. By organizing practice sessions that break out into small groups, I aim to foster a fast-paced atmosphere where players can focus on specific skills. Additionally, I emphasize live play scenarios that replicate in-game situations to enhance players' baseball IQ and prepare them for real game experiences. My goal is to develop well-rounded athletes who are confident and capable both on and off the field.

I strongly believe that input from assistant coaches is vital to building a successful team. The diverse perspectives and ideas from multiple coaches contribute significantly to a team's development, providing different approaches to teaching and problem-solving. By encouraging continuous input from all coaches, we can collaboratively create a supportive and dynamic environment that fosters growth and improvement for the entire team. This collective effort not only enhances the players' skills but also strengthens the team as a whole, ensuring that we achieve our shared goals.
