As an organization, we pride ourselves in giving these boys all the resources necessary to succeed in baseball, while also building healthy life habits.
The Bandits operate out of Bash Sports Academy, and as such a portion of our program fee goes into individual player discounts for a Bash membership.
The players who have returned to the Bandits over the last few years have grown dramatically because of their time spent in the facility and with their coaches. Players will have a handful of coaches available for private lessons all winter, to go along with their team training, as well as through the Summer baseball season. We very strongly believe individual training is the most productive and crucial approach to teaching all players the game of baseball.
We understand that both in baseball and in life, it takes hard work, commitment, and mental toughness to succeed. We teach our players at every age what it means to be a team player, and how they should behave on and off the field. We evaluate each player’s specific needs and work with them one-on-one to help them reach their full potential. Chicago Bandits Baseball teams are coached by baseball experts who have all played in college and/or professionally.
If your player has an interest in trying out for the Chicago Bandits and wants to get in contact with a Coach, we encourage you to reach out to either Coach George Karavidas or Coach Ryan Schocker.
