RISE Baseball and Softball is an Academy where athletes get specific training based on their
abilities and current season of the year. As athletes get older, their training needs modifications. We
also need to modify the training, depending on the season of year. The RISE has the facilities to provide
athletes with year-round training!
RISE have an outdoor field, batting cages, and indoor facilities that provide younger kids with Tball outside during Spring and Summer, and indoor T-ball during the winter. For the older athletes, we
can provide specific seasonal training all year: Pre-season; season; and off-season.
Legends athletes will have a College or Professional Coach at each practice and game. On staff,
RISE has multiple College and Professional Coaches providing training for:
Pitching: body control, arm strength, arm speed,
Hitting: hand-eye, bat speed, mechanics,
Base running: agilities, speed, plyometrics,
Sliding: agilities, safety,
Mental IQ: The Science behind each of the skills necessary to succeed in Baseball/Softball.
Here at the RISE, we have an advantage with our awesome facilities because it allows us to
provide athletes with a higher level of training for a much better price than anywhere. We can offer so
much more than just private lessons (we do offer lessons too) athletes can afford to get the proper
training they need because we provide group training at a low cost.
Our athletes now have many more avenues for success!

Garret Carruth BIO and Mission Statement:
Coach Garret Carruth is our new Baseball & Softball Director. He has joined us from Richland
College where he was the Associate Head Coach and helped lead them to the Regional Playoffs.
Before Richland, Coach Carruth was an NCAA Athlete at Texas State University. Following
Texas State, Garret was blessed with the opportunity to play ball professionally in the Tampa
Bay Rays farm system. This is where Garret gained the knowledge that he loves passing down to
younger athletes. Coach Carruth started his coaching career in San Marcos while he was
finishing his degree in Exercise and Sports Science. Upon graduation Coach Carruth returned to
Dallas and started coaching young kids select ball and coaching at Richland College; and the
rest, as they say, is history. Well in our case, it’s Our Future! And we are excited about Coach
Garret developing athletes here @ The RISE.
“Our mission is to develop the best farm system for youth athletes. We prepare them mentally,
emotionally and physically to be over qualified for the next years age group. Not everyone is
the same; not everyone will be trained the same. We play a sport because it is fun. It is
amazing how much a young athlete can give you, when the fun never stops.”
