The Bible, the Focus & Finances

Christian Values

The Bible is the book we follow and teach from. Players volunteer their time serving at ministries like Operation Christmas Child, The Buddy League, Keeper of the Game and others. We pray before team events and have consistent devotionals that teach God's word. One of TACA's goals is to share the love of Jesus Christ and bring glory to God.

Achievement Focus

Our athletes learn to persevere through challenging practices run by coaches who played at the next level and are preparing them for what college baseball is like. We schedule games against the best teams in DFW to bring out the best in our players. TACA's varsity, JV and middle school teams have posted 17 consecutive winning seasons.

Financial Responsibility

At TACA Storm™ Baseball, we give players the opportunity to raise 100% of their team fees by selling raffle tickets or delivering and spreading mulch, compost and soil. Over the last 7 years TACA has earned more than 500 mulch customers. The profit each player makes goes to pay for their team fees and uniform.

TESTIMONIALS

     

 TACA has been a game-changer for my son, who is preparing for college baseball. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, dedicated, and excellent mentors. Since joining TACA, my son has made tremendous strides in both his skills and confidence while enjoying the game with wonderful coaches, teammates, and families. TACA offers an outstanding alternative to traditional high school programs, providing high-level training and development that you won’t find elsewhere. The combination of intense training, expert coaching, and a supportive environment has been amazing. If you’re looking for a place where your athlete can truly thrive and take their game to the next level, TACA is it. I highly recommend it for anyone serious about advancing their baseball career while enjoying the flexibility and focused environment that homeschooling offers.

 TACA is way more than a baseball organization!! It has been a place for our son to grow on and off the field with the way the coaches mentor and encourage the young men to tap into their full potential. Love how they are helping to grow the next generation of capable, respectful, and godly men.

 This is an amazing organization. Coach Mike Ostrom is a great coach who truly understands the proper balance between discipline and positive encouragement and he not only helped my son's baseball skills tremendously but passed to him a lifelong love and enjoyment of the game. The time we spent involved with TACA Storm created memories that will last a lifetime and not only helped my son with baseball, but with his faith journey and his ability to lead with integrity in life's issues as well. Thank you TACA Storm, Coach Mike and all the others involved in this organization !!!

 TACA Baseball was a great fit for our son. Not only did he learn solid baseball skills and compete at a high level, but they were coached by solid Christian men with a passion for excellence both on and off the field. TACA Baseball was a huge part of our son's high school life, and we couldn't have been happier with the choice. 

Laura Stiehl
     

 We joined TACA during my son’s senior year after transitioning from a public school. He had been a varsity starter as a freshman and performed at a high level in a Texas 6A public school, but after Covid, we were looking for a fresh start and a winning philosophy. We found exactly that at #TACA. My son flourished at #TACA, thanks to the outstanding coaching staff and supportive team environment. The coaches here focus on uplifting their players rather than just using them for their talents. They see these young men not merely as a means to an end but as individuals to be guided in both physical and spiritual growth. #TACA creates winners both on and off the field. The program’s commitment to developing players for success at the next level is evident in their impressive track record of scholarships. They do it all. Our only regret is that our son didn’t have the opportunity to play his entire high school career here.
