Our story · Vacaville, California
Bigger than baseball.
The Admirals were formed with one goal in mind: preparing kids to play in college. Everything else grew out of how they chose to do it.
A level playing field
Same uniform. Same standard.
Admirals Baseball Club is a nonprofit youth baseball and softball organization founded by Dyron Rolling in Vacaville, California, to prepare young players for college baseball and for life.
On the Admirals, everyone is on a level playing field. There are no school rivalries, no socioeconomic differences, and no fear of failure. Every player wears the same uniform to practice, and they all work together.
To wear the A, a player keeps a 3.0 GPA and gives back at two charitable events a year. The club is not just creating ballplayers. It is creating the next generation of leaders in its community.
Traditions
What the Admirals do every year.
Annual
The Jacket Games
The club’s annual charity game. In 2020 it is where the first Lady Admirals were welcomed into the organization, each with a rose from a baseball player.
October
Trunk or Treat
More than ten years running. Players and families hand out candy and give back to kids in the neighborhood.
December
Alumni Homecoming
Admirals alumni come home from college to train at The ACE and spend time with the younger players.
February
The Crab Feed
The club’s biggest fundraiser, five years running, with crab, tri-tip, live music, auctions and a full house at The ACE.
The house word
Salute.
It’s painted on the wall at The ACE and it signs off nearly everything the club says. Salute to the players, the coaches, the families and the partners who make it work. And the motto that follows every Admirals athlete out the door: once an Adi, always an Adi.
