The Potomac Riverdogs 13U travel baseball team moved to the "big field" in June 2023 and gone are the days of 50' mounds, 70' bases and 200' fences! Now the team plays on significantly larger fields... 60' mounds, 90' bases and 300-400' fences. We now play real baseball and with that comes new challenges. The biggest challenge - especially for 12 and 13 year olds - is having the necessary strength and speed to compete at this new level of play. This is where we need your support!

Coach Kirkland has prioritized strength and speed development ever since forming this team in the Fall of 2021. In the Winter of 2022, Coach formed a partnership with Explosive Performance in Brambleton, VA, and the team has worked with a dedicated strength and conditioning coach 2 days per week in the Winter and Summer. They will even continue the training in the current Fall season!

The team has seen great improvement in their physical preparation for games in that players are noticeably stronger, faster and more athletic. In order to continue competing at a high level, the team will participate in offseason training at Explosive Performance 2 days per week from November to March. Dedicated training such as this doesn't come cheap however! At an estimated cost of $7,000 for the team, it is an expensive but necessary investment for the players. We hope that your support in the BIG DOG RAFFLE will help offset these costs for our players
