CCPS would like to welcome our new varsity baseball coach, Jaime Mick!
A little bit about our new coach:
My name is Jaime Mick, I moved here from New Jersey in 2023. I’ve played or coached baseball since I was 4 years old. I won the New Jersey Group IV State Championship in 2015 with the Williamstown Braves and went on to play for the Atlantic Cape Buccaneers. I’ve helped coach for multiple youth travel teams (ages 12-18) and volunteered back at Atlantic Cape. I cannot wait to get started with Craig County and win some ball games!
