ABOUT US

Beginning in early 2024, the West Michigan Tide has been finding and featuring some of the best players that western Michigan has to offer. From coaching them on the ins-and-outs of the sport to honing their athletic and life skills, we’re proud to teach not only the love of the game, but to also impart the ideals of good sportsmanship, teamwork and loyalty with faith based values.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to use the fantastic game of baseball to develop, strengthen, and challenge our players on the baseball field, as sons and brothers at home, and most importantly, in their relationship with Jesus.  We will do this by applying biblical principles of working hard, being great teammates, and striving to be the hands and feet of Jesus in all that we do.

Mission
“Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9
