Welcome to the Sports Zone Baseball Organization.

The goal of the Sports Zone organization is to provide the best instruction and a highly
competitive schedule for dedicated players in the Pittsburgh area. The Sports Zone
teams are instructed by current professional players , ex-professional players and
ex-collegiate players. The 2008 season instructors included Jory Coughenour (Astros),
Patrick Cutshall (Astros), Brian Holliday (Pirates) and Nate Neery (Orioles). The Sports
Zone coaching staff devote their time to the spirit of the game by teaching baseball
fundamentals in an environment that is intense, but still fun for the boys.

The Sports Zone will field teams in the 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, 16U and 18U divisions.
The Sports Zone teams compete with top area ball teams in the W estern Pennsylvania
Elite Baseball League (WPEBL) and travel to tournaments to find the best competition
around. The Sports Zone Red Sox and White Sox had been affiliated with Beaver Valley
Baseball through 2007 but will no longer be affiliated with that organization.

The Sports Zone coaching staff emphasize a team atmosphere that instills dedication,
sportsmanship, character and courage along with allowing the boys to develop skills in
the mental and physical aspects of the game of baseball. Our players and coaches are
dedicated to America's pastime and are confident in the ability to field first-rate baseball
teams.
