CLUB VALUES

Respect the Game and Everyone Involved

​We play the game the right way at every age. Our attitude, body language, and words demonstrate sportsmanship. Coaching decisions are trusted. Players and parents do not argue with umpires.

Responsibility

We take responsibility for our words, actions, and choices. We do not transfer blame. How we handle our mistakes and failures matters.

Trust the Process

Developing a ballplayer takes time and experience and includes many successes and even more failures. Coaches expect progress not perfection.

Mental Toughness

It is resilience, grit, and perseverance that will determine success and longevity. We do not quit when it gets hard. We do not accept excuses.

Arm Health &
Multi-Sport Athletes

Coaches understand arm health and do not compromise on upholding age-appropriate

arm care standards. The research is clear: youth athletes greatly benefit from playing multiple sports.

A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT

BRETT ARMOUR | FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT | WESTSLOPE MUSTANGS FOUNDATION, INC.

I’m a third generation Grand Valley native and ballplayer. I care about this community and growing the game. The WSMF Board of Directors is committed to serving youth ballplayers and their families through quality programs.

As a player, I spent most of high school on the bench. My friends played JV and suited Varsity while I was on the C team. I was a late bloomer and undersized. I got enough playing time my senior year to go to JUCO for two years, which then gave me an opportunity to go DI from there. At Oral Roberts University, I warmed up one time and never once saw the field. That year at ORU made me, though. I learned to pitch there, transferred to Mesa State College, and went on to have the most successful seasons of my career. I signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization because of those two seasons. A once scrawny kid that no one believed in signing a pro contract as a pitcher at 22 years old. God truly uses every part of our story.
 
I know what this game can do in the lives of our kids. As a coach, I hold high standards, high expectations, and high love for our players. We coach ‘em hard because this game is hard. The hard is what makes it good. The hard is where we learn.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting our mission.
