Mission Based - Mission First
Welcome to 2025 M-Pact!!! We are looking forward to a great 2025 here. We have been working diligently behind the scenes to put together everything we need to help your player have a wonderful experience this year.
This year, we want to make the mission of M-Pact front and center in all we do. We created a mission statement in 2021 to help guide our decisions, our coaching, our parenting, and how we wanted to build this community.

There have been trying times of course but through it all, we have grown through trials and held onto our mission and our community. That does not happen without all of you! People who want to be a part of something special.
We held a 2025 Coaches Meeting a few weeks ago to get our goals aligned. We put a large focus on the mission and shared with one another stories and testimonies of how the mission has impacted us. In that meeting a secondary topic came up. What makes this place special?
We have created a unique opportunity to take our mission driven approach to a new level. With focus on what we are great at. Culture driven baseball with the right level of competing, player development, and a community who cares for one another!
Let's make this season the best yet by pulling on the same rope. We are here as a part of something bigger than just a baseball team, we are part of a special community.
We have our Parent Handbook that all parents are required to read. Within the website, we also have a Parent Program filled with videos and devotionals helping you along this journey.
We want to renew our focus on you as a parent. Your involvement in your kids development is key.
Please take some time to look through these.

W.I.N - What's important now?
by Jason Conley
It's no question we love baseball here. We don't aim to be a year round program because we believe in kids playing multiple sports. We probably seem like a year round program to most. However, we have kids spread across so many ages, they all have different needs and timelines that we are trying to help them achieve their goals.
Most don't know but I was a basketball guy. Being recruited in that sport in High School and I began my coaching journey in youth basketball. I coached a team of young kids who were all baseball players as well. These young boys achieved so much in five years! Oklahoma State Runner Up Champions, Regional Champions 4 times in 5 years, all against teams from all over Oklahoma.

Of course me being a competitive person, I wanted their full attention. Every year our season would run into March with these boys making a run at a State Championship. The baseball coaches would always get upset with me early on that I wanted to fully separate the two sports and practice schedules.
When we started M-Pact, we found a way to let the boys hit and throw at little starting in January. Why the change of heart? I swallowed my pride and I realized it was taking the boys weeks to get back in baseball shape. They weren't ready.
As a parent, the beginning of baseball season was frustrating for our young son. He had trouble making the switch. It always took two or three weeks. Looking back, I wish we would have eased into it a little earlier. When we started those early workouts, his love for both sports stayed, he did better when baseball games started, and we got the opportunity to be a part of more kids lives across two sports.
We are offering sessions Monday and Tuesday nights helping kids get more athletic and to work their way into baseball shape. Our teams will also have training sessions beginning in the next few weeks.
To be genuine here, raising young athletes is difficult. Balancing that line of letting them have fun, learn how to compete, and dealing with failure. Having a son who was very driven to play everything and wanting to win always added fuel to the fire. We made some mistakes along the way of course. Now that my own child is aging out of baseball for us, we want to help all you parents with things we wish we had help with. Always remember, W.I.N. what's important now? Thankful for all of you!
M-Pact Performance
We have created a side opportunity for M-Pact with M-Pact Performance. We have been blessed with crossing paths with great teachers like Eli Davis among others to offer kids in our area specialized training to help take players to the next level.
We will also offer at home packages that have been used by colleges, high school players, all the way down to young kids to help develop skills that are under taught.
The best part of having this side of our community is our training will be shared across our teams in practices, training, and player development.

High School players from all over Oklahoma have been participating in weekly workouts. College commits, Pre-Season All Staters, and high school starters.
Final Thoughts
1 Corinthians 1:10
10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Let's kick off this season on the right foot
