About Us

Our Story

Founded in 2021 in Mt. Crawford, Virginia, The Herd Sports is a nonprofit youth sports organization dedicated to building top athletes and leaders in our community. What began with a single baseball team has grown into a thriving program that now includes six baseball teams, five softball teams, and two girls’ basketball teams.

Serving more than 120 athletes across the Shenandoah Valley, The Herd Sports provides a safe, structured, and inspiring environment where young athletes can develop their skills, build confidence, and learn the values of teamwork, discipline, and leadership.

Our organization is built on the belief that sports are more than games—they are powerful tools for personal growth and community connection. Through dedicated coaching, strong mentorship, and a commitment to excellence, The Herd Sports continues to shape athletes, leaders, and citizens who make a positive impact both on and off the field.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a community where every athlete feels valued, supported, and inspired. We strive to be known for developing not only top performers, but also kind, confident, and responsible young people who make a difference—on the field and beyond.

Our Mission

At The Herd Sports, we believe every athlete deserves a positive place to grow, compete, and lead. Our mission is to help players reach their full potential—as athletes and as people—through hard work, respect, and teamwork. We don’t just build strong players; we build future leaders who carry the lessons of sports into every part of life.

Whether it’s coaching, volunteering, or donating, there’s a place for you here.
