On Saturday morning at 7:45 a.m., ten families woke up to an email no parent ever expects to receive.

The select travel baseball organization our sons were registered with abruptly shut down—effective immediately. No warning. No transition plan. No refunds.

This was our first time doing travel baseball. We researched the organization, confirmed it had been operating for several years, and trusted that our kids were signing up for a legitimate program.

I was asked to coach the 14U team back in the fall. I said yes.

We built a team of ten boys.

We practiced all through January.

Relationships were built. Trust was built.

And overnight, the organization dissolved—leaving our team without a home.

Each family had already paid $1,250 for tournaments, uniforms, fields, and winter training. At this point, after consulting with multiple attorneys, we’ve been told the chances of recovering those funds are slim to none.

The last few days have been a scramble. The assistant coaches and I reached out to multiple organizations trying to keep this team together so these kids wouldn’t lose their season.

We did find an organization willing to take us in—but the cost to move forward is $16,000 for the team, with the majority due immediately.

These families have already paid once.

The kids did everything right.

They just want to play baseball.

This fundraiser isn’t about extras or luxury. It’s about giving these ten boys the season they were promised and worked for.

If you’re able to help—whether by donating, sharing this page, or connecting us with someone who can—we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for supporting these kids and helping us turn an unfair situation into a second chance.
