Florida Spring Training & Off-Season Update

2026 marks a new beginning for South Fayette High School Baseball, and we are excited to share important updates as we prepare for the upcoming season.

 

Due to scheduling changes with several suburban New York teams, our Florida Spring Training schedule will look slightly different than in past years. We will still compete against two inner-city New York programs, and the trip remains a critical part of our season preparation.

 

Families planning to travel to Florida are encouraged to review the information below and begin making arrangements.

Coach’s Message

“Success is not owned. Success is rented — and the rent is due every day.”

 

The work required to achieve success will challenge players and push them beyond their comfort zones. These off-season workouts are where habits are built, standards are set, and our team philosophy is established.

We are laying the foundation for a new culture — one rooted in effort, accountability, and growth.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

— Coach Bubba Snider
