I am looking for the Top Sophomores and Juniors in New Hampshire for the Granite State Baseball Association's Showcase Fall Wood Bat League. Last year in our first year running the program we had about 32 players from around New Hampshire who were separated into two teams which played a 9 inning game each week for about 8 or 9 weeks. These games were hosted by NH colleges and universities such as Colby-Sawyer, Franklin Pierce, Southern NH, Plymouth State, Keene State and St. Anselms. In addition to these coaches seeing the players, the GSBA provided weekly updates to over 30 colleges and universities around the Northeast, who are also invited to come down and watch the games at no cost to their programs. The players each paid approximately $300 to play and received instruction from coaches who all had played, high school, college, semi-professional and/or professional baseball. For 2008 we are looking to expand the league to 4 teams, located out of the Manchester/Hooksett area, Nashua area, Concord area and Salem/Derry area. The purpose of this league is to provide NH players the opportunity to move on to the next level in addition to providing the highest quality fall baseball in New Hampshire. We do have participating partners in MVP Baseball Academy and Extra Innings in Nashua, NH. Please share your thoughts and in the near future our web site www.granitestatebaseball.org will be up and running again, and providing more information as well as player, parent and college coaches testimonials about our program.
