Thank you for your interest in the TOP DOG FAMILY!
Since 2015 Top Dog Athletics has helped turn the pipe dream of being a collegiate student-
athlete into an attainable goal by helping the youth in Central California develop into Top Dog
people, leaders, and athletes. Over the past 10 years we have helped over 100 student-athletes earn
a college scholarship. As of January 1, 2025 the Top Dog family has been represented at 53
different colleges/universities in 21 different states, and participating in 7 different sports.
We have been represented at USA Western “A” Nationals, PGF Premier and Platinum Nationals,
the Triple Crown World Series, Alliance Nationals, Perfect Game, Five Tool events, and
Cooperstown events with Top 25 finishes. We have also helped athletes prepare for their
collegiate seasons over Summer and Winter vacations.
​
To help us sustain our success and continue to grow the TOP DOG FAMILY, we are ALL IN
FOR EACH OTHER. In order for our youth to succeed they need to be challenged and supported
by a strong village, and inside that village every individual must be supported by everyone that
makes up that village. The TOP DOG FAMILY is one that brings care, leadership, respect,
dedication, commitment, and support to every member that makes up our family.
The TOP DOG FAMILY strives to provide all of our athletes environments and opportunities to
be challenged, to learn, grow, and develop on and off the field. We create environments to push
our athletes to their limits and put them in positions to have a solid understanding for who they
are as a person, and what they can contribute to society, as they enter adulthood. We are here for
our athletes from the second they become a part of our program and throughout the rest of their
lives.
​
The journey we embark on together is not an easy one, but we travel the path together. Through
all of the ups and downs the TOP DOG FAMILY will be there to support everyone, every step
of the way. From our alumni to our newest members (you) we are here for each other. We
appreciate your interest in the TOP DOG FAMILY and you entrusting us to develop your
athlete. We are here to do everything we can to make sure he/she becomes the best individual he/
she can be, on and off the field.
​
Once again, thank you for your interest in the TOP DOG FAMILY! We are excited for your
athlete and your family to join our family!

Sincerely,
Bryce Kamimoto

CULTURE & EXPECTATIONS
Top Dog Athletics and the Top Dog Family is all about FAMILY; everything we do, we doTOGETHER. Since 2015 our teams have worked in a manor where no one of our teams function as an individual. We have always had all of our teams working together; our athletes are building relationships with Top Dog Athletes of all ages and Top Dog Families are familiar with one another (no matter their child’s age). Through our commitment to FAMILY we have built a culture that is ALL IN FOR EACH OTHER. No one gets better by themselves. No one athlete or family is bigger or more important than another, and no one athlete or family is exempt from following Top Dog standards, expectations, and the Top Dog Culture. The Top Dog Culture is committed to the fundamentals of athletics and personal characteristics that create long lasting habits that ultimately lead to life long success. The Top Dog Culture creates an environment that fosters the growth in academics, athletics, and personal characteristics. This culture is all about teaching our youth to give everything they have to help raise and better others. The Top Dog Staff will instill a deep level of respect for tradition and what it will take to achieve excellence on and off the field. The Top Dog Staff and Families lead by example in showing respect for the game, respect for themselves, and every individual apart of helping our athletes become the best they can possibly be. As a member of the Top Dog family we are energy givers, maintaining a positive attitude and outlook. We bring maximum effort every day. We make no excuses for bad days.Our athletes learn athletics is about failure and in the small umbrella of things they can control their attitude and effort will always remain in their control. We expect our athletes, families, and coaches to maintain a positive attitude and give all of their efforts to be ALL IN FOR EACH OTHER. There is no room for negativity, drama, and individualization. The Top Dog family will maintain community involvement. The Top Dog family contributes to numerous community service events throughout the year including (but not limited to): food drives, clothing drives, school supply drives, and hours at the Poverello House. We encourage our athletes, families, and staff to be leaders in their community and example for others to follow. We encourage our parents and staff to be examples for our youth to follow in demonstrating the importance of giving back, and helping provide opportunities for our youth to gain a better understanding for the world around them.The Top Dog program embodies principles of hard work and being the best version of yourself, you can possibly be, to help better others. This passion expresses itself as personal growth and success, and team growth and success on and off the field. The Top Dog family is all in for our country’s youth and helping build a stronger society for all!​
VISION
The Top Dog vision is to guide and aide young athletes as they develop into young MEN and WOMEN: academically, athletically, socially, emotionally, and professionally. We are here for athletics, college, career, and (most importantly) life. We are going to utilize athletics as a vehicle to provide valuable experiences that will place every individual in environments where they are pushed to get the best out of themselves every day. By the time our athletes are ready to leave our program and begin their lives as young adults they will be able to attack life with confidence and a sound understanding of who they are and what they can contribute to better the world around them.
