NEWS FLASH………… The Barracuda Diamond Club Coaches Committee
is filling up fast. First let me thank those of you that have already
secured your spot in the Coaches Committee. Many of you have already
committed to the Platinum Family Membership, our highest level. We should
all be proud! As many of you know, this year’s membership brings a special
perk…. special seating in our new stadium chairs undercover on the first
base side. However, these seats are limited, so you must act fast (THINK
PLATINUM). We must also quickly order the accompanying Coaches Committee
sportswear and hats. Please print out a sponsorship form (see forms to the
right side of the website), fill it out (don’t forget your sizes) and
present it with your check to Coach Biz or myself as soon as possible. We
really need to have everything delivered well before our first home game.
We would like all of you to enjoy what you have worked so hard to
accomplish.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of the
Barracuda Diamond Club.

Dear Booster Club
Members, Golf Tournament Participants and Supporters:
The booster club
would like to extend it's heartfelt thanks for making this year's Barracuda
Diamond Classic one of the most successful tournaments in our 6 years.
Despite a challenging economic environment, we surpassed our goal. While
there are many folks to thank, the Golf Committee would like to give special
thanks to Publix, Deloitte, Doral Golf and Country Club, BNY/United Mellon,
Intelligent Business Solutions, Palmetto Ford, Ellie Mills State Farm and McLuskey
& McDonald, PA. Please remember to consider these folks when doing
business in their respective areas. As a volunteer organization, such
success could not have been realized without these fine folks and the
tireless efforts of our golf committee and various volunteers.

Our School
At Coral Reef Senior High School,
the Barracuda baseball program, supported by the Barracuda
Diamond Club booster organization, is embarking on a mission to provide its
student-athletes with a "Harvard" education in interscholastic sports.
In the pursuit of excellence we are striving to integrate superior academic
achievement and athletic success.
Academically, Coral
Reef Senior High provides all the options for academic advancement
and post-secondary preparation.
The quality of education here at Coral Reef is recognized throughout the nation as superior.
The past two years Coral Reef was ranked among the top public high schools in the country by Newsweek Magazine.
Complementing this environment, the coaching staff is committed to
providing the baseball student-athlete an exceptional extracurricular sporting experience.
Of course, the demands are very high, and due to the limited number
of roster spots, students are expected to be motivated to attain such standards.
Players must meet academic requirements to remain active.
Our Booster Club
The Barracuda Diamond Club is the
official booster club of the Coral Reef baseball program, and we
appreciate everyone becoming active and involved in the job of building
our program.
In efforts to professionalize our program,
all participants contribute in a variety of fundraising activities. The
centerpiece of that fundraising effort is the annual baseball yearbook
supported by the solicitation of advertisement. Beyond that, participants
are required to attend team meetings and practices. It is
expected that every player who becomes involved will help elevate the
Coral Reef baseball program to a position of pride in the social fabric of
the school and the community. It is hoped that the baseball program will
provide a model of excellence as well as promote all participants to the
intercollegiate level if they so desire.
Our Teams
Freshman. The Booster Club sponsors a 16-and-under team, composed mainly of ninth graders, playing in the local CABA League. This team is the critical first step for youngsters new to Coral Reef. We generally try to hold an orientation meeting for all potential players and parents sometime in mid- to late May. We will then decide if a summer training program can be implemented for the benefit of players not participating in summer leagues or travel teams. Interested players should contact Head Coach Bisceglia for detailed information. Once school starts in fall, it has been customary to hold tryouts for the booster sponsored CABA fall team which starts in early September and runs through December. Then, again in January, the spring season requires separate tryouts and runs from the end of January to the end of April.
Junior Varsity. A Junior Varsity team is comprised of outstanding
freshmen as well as sophomores and juniors. Open tryouts are held each year in
January when official practice begins.
Varsity. Participation on the Varsity team is open to all
grades but is primarily comprised of veteran players who have contributed on the
previous levels. Limited participation requires that all prospective players be
evaluated during a tryout period.
Fall Travel Leagues.
The booster club sponsors 3 travel teams:
an 18-and-under team in the Pinstripe League,
and 18-and-under and 16-and-under teams in the local USSSA league.
