SINCE 2005
TO TEACH, TRAIN,DEVELOP AND MENTOR.
The Nokona Baseball program was founded in 2005 with a simple mission: to teach, train, develop and mentor young athletes whose interest it is to play college baseball. Since then, the program has helped hundreds of high school athletes reach the collegiate level and beyond. Nokona is the nation's oldest baseball glove manufacturer, handcrafting premium ball gloves in America since 1934, and represents premier independent baseball organizations made up of elite travel players in their region.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
CENTERED ON EVERYPLAYER'S OPPORTUNITY.
The area's most talented players
For each age group, Nokona brings together the area's most talented players to compete at the highest level while developing their individual skills and having fun in the process.
The right path can begin at any age
Our coaches have an enormous passion for baseball. We work with players who share it and want to get the most out of their talents, and we stress education, discipline and preparation.
Winning is not the only measure
We are proud of past members who went on to prestigious colleges. Our clinics, camps and travel teams develop a player's skills, and the life lessons along the way are invaluable.
