We don't carry a fixed 12-man team. We keep a large pool of ballplayers and build the best roster we can for each tournament. St. Louis metro most weekends, and about once a month we load up and go play somewhere else. If your son can play, we want him in the pool.
The card gets written fresh every weekend. Nobody's spot is permanent — including the ninth.
Add your nameHit Club Black is a pick-up program. Players stay with their home team all season and come play with us for specific events. That's the whole point — we can put a strong roster on the field for a big weekend without asking anybody to leave their team.
[Two or three sentences — playing/coaching background, how long he's run Hit Club, what he's after with this group.]
[Short background — or delete this whole block if it's just Brian.]
Our approach is simple: play up, play good competition, and let the kids handle real innings against real arms. Development happens against better players, not in a bracket we're supposed to win.
The target slate for this year. Events fill in as they're locked — check back or ask Brian.
