Calvary Baseball

In May of 2008, planning started for Calvary’s first baseball team. The CLHS Booster Association donated money for uniforms and equipment. That fall at Calvary, 15 out of 18 boys showed interest in beginning a baseball team. We were able to have many practices and even play a few games in the fall. Then, when spring rolled around, we got into full swing in baseball practice. Coach Kolzow is Calvary's first head coach for the baseball team. This spring we had 11 out of 19 boys playing.

Coach David Kolzow

Baseball team and Coach

Coach Kolzow has 22 years of coaching experience and brings a lot of wisdom and knowledge to our practices. With Coach's encouragement to work hard in practice we have learned to play together as a team. He has a lot of different stories that inspire us to do better. Coach Kolzow makes baseball an enjoyable experience for us because he is patient, kind, and makes hard work fun for us.

The future is bright for Calvary baseball. We have a lot of young players and have the albity to play together for a couple of years. We have the potential to acheive anything that we set our minds to. We will be able to play together for years to come. For some of the members of the team it was their first year of playing baseball. We had a very young team; all but one were in the lower grades of high school. We had a lot of pitchers on our team. Many of the students on the team were all-around solid players which was helpful, because one person could play many different posititions during the games. We do not have a permanent facility for practices or games, so we use a field in Holts Summit.
