We are excited to announce an upcoming change at Bill Bond Baseball League of Pensacola! Starting this Spring 2024, we will be offering a travel baseball program in an effort to further develop players and coaches who would like to compete in both recreational and tournament baseball.
To start, we will be fielding teams at the 8U, 9U, 10U, and 11U age divisions. The program will be in addition to recreational team activities and will include weekly Fall training sessions, weekly Spring practices, two to five LOCAL Spring tournaments per age division, and one Bill Bond hosted Spring tournament per age division. The teams will consist of Bill Bond players and coaches only and tournaments and uniforms will be little to no cost for players and coaches.
Our goal is to start developing the program this Fall, so we have already selected our coaches. The 8U coach will be Stephen Clarke, 9U coach will be Mike Singer, 10U coach will be Tommy Delamare, and 11U coach will be Garrett Henderson. Open training sessions will start in early August and select players will be invited to closed training sessions starting in late August. If your child is interested in this program, even if they will not be playing Fall baseball, please register using the following link by the end of July.
