Become a part of something greater to ensure your readiness for the next stage.
Our goal is to foster our players' love of the game. We want to help them enjoy baseball so much that by season's end, they are disappointed it's over but can't wait for the next one to start. This is such a short phase of their life; we want it to be a memorable one!

At the heart of our team's ethos is the importance of family. Coming together to watch and play baseball serves as a bond that strengthens our connections. We believe in the power of teamwork and recognize the significance of parental involvement. What matters to you as a parent will undoubtedly matter to your player, as we cultivate an environment where familial values and collective effort are paramount.
Coach Eric Morvan strives to strike a balance between competition and player development. While winning is important, the focus remains on long-term player growth, skill acquisition, and creating a positive learning environment. I encourage players to challenge themselves, set goals, and learn from both successes and setbacks.
I was born and raised in East Texas. I'm on the Dixie Gladewater / Union Grove Dixie baseball board. I am also the VP of Union Grove Youth sports association. I am married and have two boys. I believe that youth baseball should be a fun and enjoyable experience for every player. I aim to create a positive and supportive environment where players can develop a love for the game, foster lifelong memories, and build a passion for continued participation.
I will strive to create a team culture that is based on ((R.I.G.H.T))
"We will give 110% every day! With Respect and Integrity, we will Grow through Hard work and Training."
-Coach Morvan
