It is our intent to nurture growth and develop the skills and self-esteem of the participants of NPPB. Our focus is enabling each participant to be in an environment where he/she can realize a higher level of relative success than that which they began. Being competitive is a part of sports and a part of life, and we support our environment in nurturing the growth of our participants so they will be prepared to have relative and absolute success in both. Understanding our mission statement and league philosophy will eliminate many questions or challenges you might have before, during or after the baseball season.
