about the twelve
Something Different.
Texas Twelve is where athletic excellence meets personal growth. Our mission is simple: to prepare the next generation of athletes for success on and off the field.
Who we are
At Texas Twelve, we’re redefining what it means to compete. Our program isn’t about chasing rankings or trophies—it’s about developing fearless athletes who push themselves to new heights, master the fundamentals, and thrive under pressure.
We’re not just training players; we’re shaping the leaders of tomorrow with a commitment to character, discipline, and unwavering confidence.
Be Fearlessly different
Matthew 7:13: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”
We aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd and challenge the status quo. In a youth sports industry that often prioritizes short-term success and financial gain, we forge our own path, putting player development and well-being first. By embracing uniqueness and staying true to our principles, we aim to create a better, more ethical youth sports experience.
FOCUS ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT
Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Rather than chasing wins at any cost, we are committed to the things that matter most— long-term growth, character development, and the future success of our players. The focus isn’t just on athletic excellence but also on shaping well-rounded individuals who are prepared for life beyond the game.
PURSUE EXCELLENCE
1 Peter 1:15-16: “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”
Excellence is not just a goal; it is the standard and it applies to everything we do. Whether it’s the quality of coaching, the character of the players, or the organization’s overall performance, we are dedicated to putting forth the best effort possible. It’s a constant pursuit of improvement and striving to be the best version of ourselves.
be consistent
Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
We know that consistency breeds success. By showing up every day and delivering the same level of care, effort, and commitment, we create a culture of reliability and excellence. Our players, coaches, and families know what to expect because we deliver with unwavering dedication.
how it all started
Our journey began in 2006 when a small group of passionate coaches in College Station, Texas, recognized the need for a better youth baseball and softball experience—one that emphasized both player development and character building. What started with just a single 9U baseball team soon grew into something much bigger. Over the years, we have expanded across the state, fielding hundreds of teams and setting the new standard for youth sports.
Through every stage of growth, we remain true to our core values of teaching the game the right way, fostering a love for baseball and softball, and ensuring that every player has the tools they need for success on and off the field. The timeline captures some of the most important movements in our evolution, highlighting key milestones in our mission to transform youth sports.
We proudly serve a diverse geographic area. This coverage reflects our commitment to accessibility, to bringing our unique approach to more communities, and to providing more opportunity for young athletes to develop their skills in a supportive and competitive environment.

Bay Area baseball and softball branches are added, and Texas Twelve officially surpasses 190 teams, continuing its legacy of growth and excellence. Prior to 2024 the C2 Baseball organization existed for over a decade as an incredibly successful club program in the Houston area. C2 leadership consistently executed on a long standing commitment to serve its families in many of the same ways that we strive to serve ours. Additionally, the up and coming Texas Force program had begun to make a name for itself at the youth level in the Pearland/Friendswood area. The mission and culture of the Texas Force program was in alignment with those of the Texas Twelve and C2 programs. In the fall of 2024 C2, Texas Force, and Texas Twelve leadership teams thought that the best way to strengthen each program’s ability to create exceptional opportunities for more people in the southeast Houston area would be to join forces and create the Texas Twelve Bay Area branch.
