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 team-building, sportsmanship, advanced skill development, and baseball IQ

  • 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 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'll 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 season combined — is expected to be roughly $2200 for players who are offered full-time roster spots. Full and partial fee waivers are available for those who have a financial hardship.

 

MORE INFORMATION

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.

ELIGIBILITY

The Bandits program is for players who live in Brookline or attend a Brookline school and will not be playing on an out-of-town club baseball team in spring 2025. This program is selective, and not everyone who tries out will make the team.

COMMITMENT
If you’re selected, you’ll be expected to attend practices regularly in the fall and winter, and make the Bandits your primary sports commitment in the spring.
