FHS Program Philosophy

The Mission of the Fauquier High School Baseball program is to provide high level baseball instruction and skill development utilizing baseball as a platform to teach the core life values of hard work, dedication, teamwork, accountability and leadership.

Program Philosophy:

Ownership of the program starts with the athlete. Be accountable for results!

Success is earned not given! Take personal ownership of academics and athletics and turn potential into ability!

Hard work and dedication creates success. Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work as hard!

Great Opening Weekend

Over 30 FHS boys played hard today as FHS Varsity and JV teams learned what it takes to win and what will cost you a win.  Great things are on the horizon for this group if they continue to battle and work together towards a common goal as they did today!  Quality start boys!
