About the Bandits

The Bandits Baseball program is dedicated to developing talented, smart, confident, disciplined, team-oriented ballplayers through high-level training and competitive games.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our program offers several benefits for ballplayers:

 

  • Emphasis on advanced skill development, team-building, and sportsmanship

  • Competitive games against other club teams

  • The familiarity and cohesiveness of playing on an all-Brookline team

  • The convenience of practicing and playing home games in Brookline

  • Total cost that's roughly half of what out-of-town club teams charge

 

ROSTER SELECTION & TIMING

We're looking for serious players who are ready to:

  • Make a commitment to the program

  • Give their best mental and physical effort

  • Take responsibility for their decisions and actions

  • Put the team ahead of themselves

We realize that some out-of-town club teams will offer spring/summer roster spots to players during the previous summer. If you​'re trying to decide between an out-of-town team and the Bandits for next year, we will let you know as early as necessary about your chances of earning a spot on the Bandits roster so you can make the decision that's best for you (please let us know if you're facing a deadline). In the end, we want kids to end up wherever they have the best chance to be challenged, successful, and happy playing baseball.

 

PROGRAM COST

The Bandits program is non-profit. The cost of the entire program — fall, winter, and spring/summer season combined — is expected to be roughly $2000. Full and partial fee waivers are available for those who have a financial hardship.

If you have any questions about the Bandits — structure of the program, timing of roster decisions, commitment expected of players, program costs, or anything else — please contact the program director, John Bucci.
