      The Florida Bombers have announced a tryout date for 2012 players that have not yet comitted to college. Tryouts will be held at Coral Springs Highschool at 11 A.M.

The Bombers will be the only organization in Florida that will be shifting their efforts on those players that have ended their Highschool careers uncomitted to college.

This concept will be to give 2012 players a realistic opportunity to impress a school looking for players. The team will compete in 4 in state tournaments , as well as go on a college showcase tour. On the tour players will be working out in front of college coaches throughout the State of Florida.

"We feel that players in this position are at a disadvantage, playing in tournaments with 200 teams will not help these individual players . Our idea is to maximize these players for what they are and not what they arent. We will bring the players to the college coaches this way making sure these players dont get lost in the shuffle" .

For more information please contact coach Starr at 305-331-3878 or floridabombers@gmail.com

these teams will not be first come first serve like most every organization in Florida. You will have to make the team in order to be a part of this concept.

The Florida Bombers yes the Florida Bombers have been able to accomplish things this past 10 years that no one has even come close too.Unlike what many perfectgame readers have been told to believe by perfectgame, the Florida Bombers have done things at the WWBA National Championships that no other program has even come close to doing.The Bombers have not received the accolades and articles attention from Perfectgame that they deserve but ,the facts are undeniable.Lets take a look at what the Bombers have been able to do at the WWBA the "Nations Toughest Event" over the past 10 years.

The Bombers have a (70-6-3) record All Time at the WWBA that is a .905 winning percentage. No other program in the country even comes close to those numbers. As a matter of fact you can combine all the other programs in the country add their accomplishments together and they fall short. The Bombers have won 6 WWBA National Championships 5 Times running the table and going undefeated in the event. 5 Times the Bombers have gone (10-0) in the 7 day event. The Bombers have played in the Championship game 7 times winning 6 of those Championship Games, that is a percentage of .857 which is unheard of in any sport. Yet for whatever reason perfectgame likes to talk about other teams and their house hold names on their rosters and the one tournament that team has won etc. When we started to put this article together we were amazed at the dominance the program has had over the past 10 years , yet perfectgame has made so little of it. These are numbers that might never ever be reached , therefore we thought this article would make more people aware of this, maybe perfectgame really wasnt aware of these unreal numbers. The Bombers have never done it with the big name guys or the High Ranked perfectgame players, they have done it the Bombers way , playing hard and aggresive and playing to win. Hundreds of players take credit for these unreal numbers , players of all sizes, shapes, color ,age the one common ground was the Bombers uniform. So while other organizations that are better tied in with perfectgame get most of the glory, the facts remain that the past decades most dominant perfectgame team has been the Florida Bombers. The dominance is not only in the State of Florida but, nation wide. The Bombers are looking for another decade of dominance on the field which is where it matters most. "We have always been about the team and coaching and playing the right way, we havent done it with the high ranked players and we havent recieved the attention we deserve but , the facts are the facts and we are very proud of these achievements "says coach Fernandez.

The Bombers are a perfectgame dynasty whether it is written about or not , the Bombers accomplishments will never be duplicated , now the Bombers will build on it.

           In 2012 the Florida Bombers 18's will reach 500 wins, making them one of only a hand full of programs in the history of  amatuer  baseball to reach 500 wins .The Bombers began as a program in 1998 ,but it wasnt till 2000 that the organization really jumped on the scene.The Bombers have averaged 42 wins a year for the last 12 years, heading into 2012.By far the Florida Bombers have done more winning than any team in the State of Florida and entering their 13th season the Bombers have persevered against the wishes of many. It is that perseverance that will make the Bombers the first ever Connie Mack World Champion in 2012. "We rise above the hate on a daily basis says Head Coach Emilio Fernandez, perseverance is what the Bombers are all about , its the backbone of this organization". "We have accomplished alot in our 12 years but, one thing that has eluded us is the Connie Mack World Championship, and we will accomplish that in 2012".

The Bombers have seen many programs come and go, some which were started specifically to dethrone the Florida Bombers , those programs have failed miserably, yet the Bombers have risen to the top.The Bombers have finished as the Nations # 1 Ranked team in 2002,2003,2005,2006,2008,2010 and finished with a ranking of # 7 in 2011."We are all about winning says Josh Starr when you win everything else falls into place, last year we underachieved so coming back strong is a must in 2012". The Bombers return 7 players from last years # 7 ranked team, and have added new talent to the 2012 roster thus far.

In 2012 the Bombers will debut in the new World Scout League as well as play host to the Memorial Weekend Invitational, FAU Showdown and National Classic. 500 wins  will be a magical night the Bombers will have many alumnus in attendance, that will be a special night as the celebration will be huge. "We will put alot of effort in making sure we celebrate win number 500, we want to share it with as many people as possible , all people that have been a part of this great accomplishment in some way or another" says coach Fernandez. The magic night could  come as early as opening weekend , as the Bombers will host a 3 Game Series starting May 19.

18u

The East Cobb Braves 17u accomplished nearly everything a travel ball team can hope to achieve this summer. Starting with winning the 17u/18u Perfect Game-East Cobb Invitational in June, taking third at the 18u WWBA National Championship and winning both the 17u WWBA and a share of the 18u BCS, the Braves asserted themselves as a legitimate national powerhouse. The Braves are as deep as they are talented, which combined with their experience set them apart this summer.

With a true national roster, the Midland Redskins come in at #2 as they gear up for the Connie Mack World Series, where they are a strong favorite. The Redskins, who double as the Royals Scout Team at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter look to yet again be a strong contender in that elite field. 18u WWBA National Champions, the San Diego Show find themselves at #3 after knocking off the EC Braves in an intense 18u semifinal matchup. The Show made are one of the premiere organizations on the west coast and with many of the same players from the 18u title team made another impressive run at the 17u the following week.

The East Cobb Yankees slot in right behind the Show at #4 with a strong team that finished second in the 18u WWBA and a roster littered with recent draft picks. Dulins Dodgers round out the top 5 after reaching the 18u WWBA semifinals, before being knocked off in a hard fought semifinal matchup with the EC Yankees. The defending champion Florida Bombers slipped from #1 to #7 after an early upset in the 18u WWBA playoffs after a highly impressive romp through pool play.
