Welcome to The Twelve.
A Christ-centered 13U baseball program based in Orange County, California.

Why “The Twelve”?
Our name honors the twelve disciples — Jesus called these twelve to follow Him, to lead, and to change the world. At The Twelve, we believe each young man is called to a similar purpose — to grow in strength, lead with humility, and play for something greater than himself.

High School Ready. Faith-Driven.
Led by a varsity high school coach, our program is built to prepare athletes for the demands of high school baseball — technically, mentally, and spiritually. We focus on elite development, baseball IQ, work ethic, and personal character. Every practice is an opportunity to improve; every game is a platform to glorify God.

This is developmental baseball with Kingdom purpose.
We train with grit, compete with grace, and give glory to God in all we do.

We aren’t just chasing trophies, we are playing for something bigger than ourselves!

Play with 12. Win with 12.
Grit. Glory. Grace.
