2017 Rancho Mirage Rattler Baseball Team
All Prospective Baseball Players
All student athletes that are interested in playing Baseball this upcoming season will need to get cleared online. Every student athlete must have a physical and proof of insurance filed in the athletic office before they will be allowed to practice.
Mission Statement:
The Rancho Mirage Baseball Program's mission is to implement a program that fosters long-term development of character, discipline, sportsmanship, community, and work ethic. With these goals in mind, we hope to create better athletes, but more importantly, better young men and students in the process. Given the opportunity, the players will grow both mentally and physically, allowing each player to find success on and off the field.
About the Program:
RMHS Baseball will be starting its 3rd Varsity season (4th Season Overall), and will be carrying a Varsity and Junior Varsity team. Last year the Rattlers finished 2nd in the De Anza League, and went on to win their first playoff game ever played in school history. This season they will be very experienced with 11 returning (7 starters) varsity players. Eventually the Rattlers intend on fielding three levels (Varsity, JV, and Freshman) in the near future. Prior to the start of this season, we have completed our renovation of the baseball diamond, by remeasuring and replacing all base anchors, mound, home plate area, and adding a custom outfield wind screen. Also during this off-season, our batting cages were moved and now bring our facilities a greater feel. See the information below for more information about the coaching staff, camps, fundraising and game schedules for all levels.
