WHO WE ARE:
The Venice Tribe was founded on the principles and values of FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). FCA’s Core Values are Integrity, Teamwork, Service, and Excellence. More than the game itself, FCA strives to instill these values in coaches and athletes. FCA is a faith-based ministry that works with coaches and athletes to share the gospel and lead coaches and athletes into a growing relationship with Jesus.
VISION: To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.
MISSION: To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

@We will participate in one tourney a month starting in March and ending in May with a possible tourney in June.
@ Since we roster 11 and can only play 9, everyone will bat, however, players will sit out innings on defense.
@ Since we have tryouts, we cannot keep every player. We will make cuts. However, there is a possibility to remain with the team to develop, but not travel.
