I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Derek Marso, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the owner of East County Prime, a new and dynamic travel ball baseball team. Some of you may know us as the former 9U Spinners, but we have rebranded to East County Prime to take greater control over expenses and decision-making, ensuring a positive experience for our young athletes.
Our primary focus is putting the kids first, both in terms of their development and the financial commitment required for travel ball participation. We understand that the costs associated with travel ball can be a concern, and we want to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to keep expenses manageable.
I am proud to share that our coaching staff, including myself, Gareth Joseph, Drew Castro, and Mario Guzman – comprises former professional athletes who understand the dedication and effort required to help these young players reach their full potential. Our goal is to provide a supportive and motivating environment that fosters both skill development and a love for the game.
We are genuinely looking forward to meeting the talented young athletes in our community and building a team that will not only excel on the field but also create lasting memories and friendships.
Thank you for considering East County Prime as your child’s next step in their baseball journey. We can’t wait to see the passion and talent that our community has to offer.
Best Regards,
Derek Marso
