While most sports minded folks are thinking about baseball, and spring training, a local Coach, his staff, and the foundations of AFL (Accountablility For Life) are giving back to not only thier home team, but offered thier expertise to any high school player in the area to join other athletes on a Sunday morning for some one on one instruction and drills to help the athletes improve the skills necessary to compete at a higher level on the gridiron and life. While most of the time was devoted to athletic needs, mentoring was also a big part of the workout for the students. LockedIN Magazine photographer Rick "Beetle" Bailey of #bbphotographer58 and #My412 took some time out to mingle with students and coaches to bring you some insight into what the AFL provides these student athletes.

Spring Training is a brand new opportunity for all Great Plains United Methodists who work with youth – youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, pastors, Confirmation mentors, etc. – to be treated like an MVP and learn from a great coach and add to their playbook.
For our inaugural training we had 65 people from 25 congregations come to one of two locations. Friday, April 17 – Saturday, April 18, we were at Trinity UMC in Salina, Kansas. Saturday, April 18 – Sunday, April 19, we were at First UMC in Kearney, Nebraska. Both events started at 6:30 p.m. on the first day and ended at 3 p.m. on the second day.
Each team received a bundle of “major league” resources for use in your ministry.
Spring training game between Houston Astros and Miami Marlins at Roger Dean Stadium on March 21, 2017
Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, Florida. Tampa Bay Rays used to be a team where older players came to retire. Since its 1998 opening season and to the mid 2000's, finished last virtually every year. Now they are a strong contender in a strong division with the Yankees and Red Sox, at the time, they were the two highest payrolls in baseball. They’re player development program has proven that will is more powerful then dollar signs, you can win if you’re hungry enough. New prospects & recent stars will mean more great things from Tampa.
This game ended in a tie 4-4 on Saturday March 27, 2010.
