Lynnhaven Baseball will be looking for 18U players after the High School Season is over. However, we would like to get commitments early so we can set up a competitive schedule.
We are looking for mostly players that have committed to college already or will not be showcasing over the summer. We usually have one or two unclassman players and we work with them, but we have to have a team that will be together all summer to ensure we stay competitive.
Last years team was comprised of 5 college players, 9 college signees, 4 underclassman which two have now signed and two others will probably sign soon. We lost in the Championship Game in Greensboro, but lost 3 of 4 starting pitchers prior to leaving and still advanced to the Championship Game.
We have a combined record of 97-8 over the past 3 years with an appearance in the World Series in Puerto Rico. We try to play all the best teams in the area and in North Carolina and Maryland...and then teams in tournaments. We will play in one showcase tournament this year and two others along with a schedule of 20-30 games between 15 June and 15 August.
We have had 4 players invited to the USA Tournament of Stars and 1 selected for the Junior National Team. But those players had to commit early because the Tournament of Stars Tournament is in June - those players have to be just turning 18 or 17U players.
We are a non-profit team and do not have sponsors. We would love them, because it all goes to the kids. The kids usually spend less than $300 dollars for the whole season and the only monies upfront is the restrigation. The rest of the money is paid by the players for hotels/food at tournaments outside the area. Any travel after 25 July is paid for by our organization
We are looking for players from the Peninsula to Suffolk because of the cost a player would incur traveling back in forth, but we can make it work for the player. (Like out of Richmond or so)
If interested, email me at billy.phillips@navy.mil or saipanwarrior@yahoo.com.
There is alot of great players out there that have already signed.......lets put a team together, have fun and go win the World Series in San Jose. You have to play against the best teams in the world when you get there......from Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Mexico, Dominican, and 3 regions of the United States.
