DECORUM ATHLETICS
WELCOME
Welcome to the Decorum Baseball page, where our passion for America's favorite pastime shines through our dedicated program for 10/11-year-olds. This year, we're laser-focused on nurturing the talents of this specific age group, providing them with the opportunity to develop their skills, learn the game's fundamentals, and grow in a competitive yet supportive environment. Under the experienced leadership of Coach Paul DePriest, our young athletes are encouraged to push their limits, embrace teamwork, and cultivate a lasting love for baseball. As we look ahead, we're excited about the possibility of expanding our program to include other age groups in 2025.

Mission
The mission of the 2025 Decorum Baseball program is to cultivate a nurturing and dynamic environment where young athletes can flourish both on and off the field. Under the guidance of Coach Paul DePriest II, we are committed to supporting the growth of the younger generation, providing a positive and safe outlet for youth, and focusing on the holistic development of student athletes. We strive to challenge the narrative of minorities in baseball and emphasize the importance of growth and enjoyment as keys to success. Our program is built on the belief that it takes a well-oiled, moral, and values-driven community to raise a child, and we are dedicated to fostering the next generation of baseball talent with this ethos at our core.
