·DINO BASEBALL MISSION STATEMENT:

The University of Calgary Baseball Club will provide student-athletes the opportunity to develop their skills as a baseball player in a competitive college baseball program while obtaining a quality education in their chosen field.

·DINO BASEBALL PHILOSOPHY:

Entering our fourth season, and our second as a member of the CCBC, the Dino Baseball program offers players a college conference schedule based out of a Triple-A level facility, under the guidance of high level coaching while the student athlete pursues a top level education.

The Dino baseball program is a competitive program for Canadian players considering an alternative to spending their first two years at an American Junior College. The level of play is equal and often superior to a Junior College experience at a FRACTION of the cost, not to mention a much superior education.

We develop players for transfer to NAIA and NCAA programs in Canada and the US, hence building the Dino programs re****tion for player development and competitiveness. Once the program attains varsity status , the program will cement its place as a realistic and competitive alternative to any other Canadian or US program.
