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.
