May PCA Players of the Month

Each month we will recognize players that exhibit the qualities of our Positive Coaching Philosophies.  We teach the kids about the ELM tree (Effort, Learning & Mistakes) and ROOTS (Respect for the Rules, Officials, Opponents, Team & Self).  The players selected were nominated by their coaches and selected by a the PCA committee. These players exemplify our values and are being honored for the month of May.

PCA Players of the Month for May 2012

Shane Mummey
Minors AAA, Tigers

Shane is one of the kindest most supportive players I have ever coached. He always supports his teammates and never has anything negitive to say. Not once has he asked to play a certain position in the field even though he is one of our best pitchers. During one of our games, he was playing catcher. I noticed he was shaking his hand behind his back, (as he was crouched down behind the plate). I asked him if he was ok. He looked up with tears in his eyes and said that he could not feel his hand, (he never complained and was trying his best to stay in the game even though he was in obvious pain.) We pulled him from the game and the next thing I see (as I am coaching 3rd) is Shane putting on his batting gloves. He is truly a teammate and player who I am grateful is on our team. He is one of the many great kids playing for FCLL.

Andrew always shows ROOTS. Even though he plays for his school team, he is always ready to give his all for his FCLL Lugnuts team. He shows great respect for the game and all of his teammates at practice and games. Andrew is truely a great kid to coach and have on your team. He is always positive and gets along well with all his teammates. He is always a positive and fills the emotional tanks of all.
