Papillion Wreckers Youth Baseball Organization

Happy 4th of July to everyone and Happy 250th Birthday, America! Just sharing our patriotic jersey for this year. This is what happens when the guy designing the jersey is a military brat and a history major—you get a whole history lesson on your jersey 😂 We do a special patriotic/military jersey every year. Two years ago it was the 80th anniversary of D-day, last year was the 250th anniversary of the Army, Navy, and Marines, and next year will be the 80th anniversary of the Air Force! Also big thanks to the artists at Berserk Athletics who always do such a great job and put up with all Josh’s edits and picky-ness!

13U Wreckers were runners-up at the Let Freedom Ring Wood Bat tournament in Sioux Falls this weekend. It was a LONG weekend with 6 games and all but one went to 7 innings, and today they were at the ball field from 7 AM to 8 PM. They are EXHAUSTED but happy to earn a ring!

Tryouts are winding down for Papillion Wreckers but a few teams still have opportunities this week. Please see below. Wreckers focus on development and value for money. Costs range from about $900-1300 depending on age (8U more like $350-400 plus spring rec registration fees). About 4-7 tournaments (again, depending on age, and only 1 travel tournament (older ages may do 2 if families want).

8U Wreckers Lite (Part-time select; also plays in rec league) second tryout date last night was rained out. We will be finding a time to reschedule.

Last Saturday, a bunch of Wreckers players came out to volunteer as “buddies” for the Miracle League (Allplay Miracle Baseball League baseball league for the disabled). Unfortunately we got rained out but we really love doing this service project and we will be back! It’s fun for the players, and great for them to learn to give back to the community and to appreciate everything that they are able to do. I know the Miracle League is always looking for volunteers—visit their website for more info or to sign up (http://www.allplay.org/). Also check them out if you know a person who is disabled and would like to play—they have leagues for both kids and adults!

10U tryout location change! If you are registered for our 10U tryouts this Thursday at 7:00, the location has been changed to Papio Bay Field 1. To register, click here:
