The purpose of this ETBCA association is to promote high school baseball in this area and this association has been accomplishing this since it was established back in 1981.  We want coaches to collaborate and be connected to improving the game, allowing both coaches and players to maximize their abilities. The goal is to create opportunities for coaches and players to gain exposure and to be active and involved with the development of the game. 

     

     We want to create positive communication with college coaches, summer coaches, middle school coaches, etc. along with TSSAA, TBCA, former ETBCA members, administrators, and our community supporters as well.  In hopes of making baseball even better in our area, we plan to accomplish this by:

​
