The mission of the Liberty High School Baseball Team is to develop student athletes to be competitive in the classroom as well as on the baseball field. Athletes involved in the baseball program will be students first and athletes second, which will prepare students for life after high school to become contributing members of their community. The coaching staff is dedicated to helping all players succeed at the individual's highest level, which will build a successful team. The purpose of the Liberty High School Baseball Diamond Club is to provide encouragement and to generate support for the baseball activities at Liberty High School. The Diamond Club is to act in mutual partnership and support of the coaching staff and to contribute to the longstanding tradition and success of the Liberty baseball program. The intent of the Community Partnership Program is to identify local business friends interested in investing in the experience and personal development of young men who love the game of baseball and desire to reach their maximum potential, as well as contributing to the improvement of quality playing facilities.
Community Partnership Program Dear Valued Business Owner: Welcome to the 2012 season of Liberty lancer Baseball. We are very excited and are looking forward to another great season of playing in one of the most competitive conferences in the state of Colorado. The Liberty Baseball Program has achieved continued success as a result of many factors including a strong commitment from the players; a dedicated coaching staff; parents who give their time and money to ensure the best possible environment for the boys; a school administration who fully supports our program; and finally our generous sponsors! We encourage you to become a partner of Liberty Baseball this season. We respect the fact that you probably receive other requests from organizations in need of financial assistance. Your business has been identified as one that cares about our community that provides products and lor services, and has an establishment that Liberty families frequent. Because of your dedication to the community, our families often become repeat customers. What separates us is that we truly understand the partnership and appreciate you. We will provide your company with maximum exposure to the entire Liberty High School Community and the many others from around the Colorado Springs area who visit Liberty throughout the season. The lancers have a long tradition of successful student athletes who perform at the highest level on and off the baseball field. Your contribution will directly benefit the many fine young athletes involved with the baseball team. Thank you for reading through this material and we look forward to the opportunity to partner with you this year and for many years to come. We will be in contact with you soon to answer any questions you may have. Sincerely, Blake Talley - President Liberty Baseball Diamond Club
