PORT HUENEME, Calif. – Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3’s First Class Petty Officer’s Association volunteered to coach and manage positions to kick off the Junior Baseball League’s season at Naval Base Ventura County, March 7.
The league hosts programs such as baseball clinics that aide young children and teen’s to expand on the fundamentals of baseball while teaching drills and techniques.
“I’m so incredibly honored to be a part of these players lives, we have a big season ahead!” said Equipment Operator 1st Class Brent Workman, president of the league.
Workman has been actively coaching for the Junior Baseball League for the past three years. However, this season, he committed himself to a much more complex position in the league. He stepped up to the plate and took on the responsibilities as the league’s President while simultaneously coaching the Cardinals team.
“This year we will teach them to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat, they will face adversity. Sometimes they will win and sometimes they will lose, but we will teach them to always be thankful for the ride,” said Workman. “They will get stronger and confident right in front of our eyes even when they have tears in theirs, that’s baseball.”
According to Workman, all staff and coaches have gone through background checks. Seabees have been great role models in the community making them desirable volunteers.
The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. The force provides deployable battalions capable of providing disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance and combat operations support.
