Bulldog Baseball Philosophy

The Rudyard Bulldogs Baseball program will pride itself in being leaders on the field, in the school, and in the community. We will be fundamentally sound in the skills necessary to be successful players, successful students, and successful members of our community. We will practice and play every day with energy, enthusiasm, excitement, and have fun every time we play.

"A tradition is kept alive only by something being added to it"

-Henry James
