The Southern California Fire baseball club’s primary role is to provide player growth, development, and to be perceived as a “premier” high caliber, highly competitive baseball organization that competes at the NCAA division 1 level. The “Fire” is committed to maintaining a foundation based on teamwork, goodwill, developing relations on the field and in the community, hard work, and ethics with the goal to develop the players in sports as well as life. An additional concurrent goal will be to compete and qualify to the national Baseball Congress World Series. Our level of competition will provide for the player to play NCAA division 1 competition locally, and to further develop the players that are competing at that level currently. Our History:The Western Wood Bat League is the former Western Semi Professional Baseball League was formed in 1998. The league will be going into its sixth year of league play in the summer of 2003. Last season was a first, sending three teams to compete in the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita. In recent years the Western Wood Bat League was based in San Diego exclusively. The league has extended play to include Long Beach, South Bay, and Orange County with a possibility of expanding to an eighth team in 2003 to complete the league. In 2003 the league was asked to drop the title Semi-Pro from its name, so there would be no conflict between professional baseball and the NCAA. We have accomodated that request. The Southern California Fire Baseball Organization will begin its second season this summer in the Western Wood Bat League affiliated with the National Baseball Congress. The Southern California Fire will be the only remaining team in Orange County to affiliate with the NBC and the Western League. The balance of the league Teams will be The South Bay Saints, San Diego Baron Stars, San Diego Mavericks, San Diego Marines, The North County Waves, and The So. Cal. "FIRE"will play all their home games at Hart Park in the City of Orange, the home of the Chapman University Baseball Panthers. Road trips in the "FIRE" 2003 season will include travel to Humboldt, Oakland, Salinas and Santa Barbara. The remainder of our league away games will be in San Diego, Dominguez Hills and Point Loma Nazarene to include a 24 game league schedule, 2 tournaments, and 20 non-league games for a 52 game schedule. Our schedule includes 2 four day NBC Qualifying Tournements in July. Fire Baseball recruits from around the nation to provide a roster that
consists of mostly Division 1 players with a mix of Division II & III
