The San Diego Longhorns Baseball Club is a high quality baseball organization serving all of San Diego County.
Through our program, we expose both the family and player to the proper approach to playing the game of baseball.We use practice drills, game situations, tournament play, and homework assignments to teach the necessary facets of the game. We attempt to give the players the skills they need to continue playing baseball competitively through high school, and potentially into college, if they choose.
Through our program, hopefully players will develop a strong character not just within baseball, but in other parts of their lives as well.
Currently, the Longhorns are fielding 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, and 16U teams.
