Our Kids First philosophy and Steel Sports Coaching System is grounded on his teachings of providing a positive and fun sports experience. We will carry on his legacy through our mission and always, as Tommy said, be a team that plays for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back of the jersey." Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tommy’s family, the Dodgers organization, and fans all over the world.
