Why should my son/daughter play with MK5?
In the world of select baseball, families often encounter organizations that make grand promises about player development, college exposure, and elite competition. Unfortunately, many of these claims are misleading. Hidden costs, unclear expectations, and broken promises are all too common, leaving parents and players feeling disillusioned and exploited.
At MK5, we pride ourselves on being true to our mission. Our goal is to provide a transparent, honest, and supportive environment where players can truly thrive. We believe in:

Honest Assessment: We give honest feedback about a player’s current skills and realistic potential. We don’t promise college scholarships or professional careers; instead, we help players set achievable goals and work towards them.
Transparent Pricing: Our pricing structure is straightforward and fair. We break down all costs so families know exactly what they are paying for.
Building Trust: We foster an environment of trust and respect, where families feel confident in our integrity and commitment to their child’s development.

Is their a sibling discount?
We understand that have multiple children playing sports across different age divisions can be difficult monetary and logistically. For this reason, a 30% discount is added to each sibling in the organization. Please talk to your coach about applying the sibling discount when paying monthly dues on the team site.
