 Life Changing Experience- Defining Player Development

Stars and Stripes Sports has been giving players across the country the opportunity to gain cultural and competitive experience throughout the United States, Cuba and now the Dominican Republic for over 10 years. Athletes can choose one or multiple events and learn the values of how to learn 1.  Play Fearless 2.  Be A Good Teammate and 3. Live A Little. This opportunity molds athlete and puts things in perspective while getting them an out of the box experience.  Competitive Adaptability is taught requiring the athlete to learn Coping Skills that prepare them for their life journey.  Every National Team player beginning the Fall of 2018 will receive a Mental MRI with their initial paid registration fee.  A Mental MRI is necessary for the player, parents, coaches, instructors to best manage their approach to player development.

National Teams

National Teams are formed for players ages 10U to 18U. Players must be a good teammate and be focused on how they can make their team better as personal accomplishments are secondary to the experience and development of the team.

If you are a serious player looking to gain exposure and challenge yourself, participation on one of these teams is critical to your success.

We want to be a major part of your development and your journey. There are many speed bumps along the way during your baseball journey and it is important to have a resource you can count on in a time of need.

We may end up with two teams in one age group on certain weekends. If we do not have enough players for a tournament you will be notified two weeks before the event and you can receive a 100% refund or transfer to a future event.

All teams are coached by a paid professional who does not have a son on the team. We had players from SC, NC, VA, FL, GA, TN, PA, IL, MT, CA, AZ, WA, NY participate with us last year and expect to draw players from all over for this years team.

Players who are not able to compete outside their normal environment with players they do not know will not be properly prepared for college nor life!

Testimonials:

Tina Flach "Live a little" my favorite Coach Kelly quote! Love the lifelong friendships made between the kids and parents! Sportsmanship also goes a long way. Another emphasis of Coach Kelly! We have had the privilege of working with him and his dedicated coaches for almost 6 years now... Great read Coach!

Lindsey Andrachick I don't even need to read the article to answer ur question... I think
Jennifer and
I would both say HELL ya we are crazy :)
flying all over the country for our 12-year-olds to play baseball... BUT at the end, it's SO worth it. The friends my family and I have created are irreplaceable and I would spend thousands more on those friendships. There is a bigger picture. It can't be explained in words, it can only be lived :)

Fill In Player

From time to time we need Fill In Player as injuries and other issues get in the way. A "Fill In Player" is treated just as a normal player is, however, they are NOT GUARANTEED a roster spot. You have to register and pay in full to secure a roster spot on any given weekend. "Fill In Player" is notified of need and accepts based on availability. The cost to be a Fill-In player is $100.00. If a Fill-In player is not needed a full refund will be provided. Fill-In players are treated just like everyone else on game day there is no differentiation.

A unique portion of our experience is involving someone from the local area who has not yet been exposed to Stars and Stripes Sports. We have secured relationships with hundreds of academy owners across the United States that provide us with players knowing we return them to their program a better teammate. Our program is "supplemental" and not meant to take over obligations for local teams that players participate with.
