Falcon Baseball Alumni & Supporters,

What a ride it was! To win our second state championship in program history and it be 25 years from our first one was truly a special accomplishment. We are so grateful for our entire community's support throughout this past spring season, as your energy was undeniable and easy to rally around. We would also like to recognize the hard work, dedication, and commitment of those former players, coaches, and families that helped lay the foundation during their time in our program which had a hand in our success this past spring. As we embark on the 2021-2022 journey, please know that your continued support and involvement is vital to our program's ability to move forward and reach new heights.

Go Falcons!

Matt Ittner

Varsity Head Baseball Coach

Class of 2008

It would not have been possible to achieve the same success without the leadership from our senior class. These nine individuals led from the front and truly left the program better than they found it when they entered four years ago.

We wish them well in their future endeavors as we know their futures are extremely bright.

Tradition Never Graduates!

Our greatest resource in our program are our coaches. The amount of time and effort that they pour into our players is truly the difference maker. Their focus is always to build the person first and the player second. We are truly grateful to have this group leading our program!

On Tuesday, July 20, our team traveled to Washington D.C. and was recognized by the Washington Nationals at their annual Champions' Day where they honor baseball and softball champions from both Virginia and Maryland.

We welcomed over 130 campers to our facility for a week camp. From skill work, to games, to capping off the week with a slip and slide; it was an action packed week of fun and baseball.

We are excited about the addition of an on site weight room at our facility. This includes four power racks, bars, bumper weights, kettle bells, and med balls. This will now allow our strength and performance coach, Chase Kyriacou (Class of 2010) to have direct access to the resources he needs to continue to develop the overall athleticism of our players.

Our program used the fundraising platform Blast Athletics this past spring, which is an interactive web-based platform that allows program contributors to stay up to date with the latest news in our program through weekly updates and photos. Through Blast Athletics our program was able to raise $7,880. Thank you to all of our donors and supporters that participated!
