Passion and Dedication to the development of youth athletes.

My name is Coach Russell. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level. Through my time there, I found a passion for coaching young athletes with big dreams. Since that time, I have coached in various capacities, including my most recent tenure as the head coach of Merritt High School in Elk City, OK. I believe that baseball is a catalyst to behaviors and disciplines that help young athletes thrive, such as perseverance, dedication and hard work.
