You've discovered the home of one of Indiana's Premier Baseball Clubs, the Bandits Baseball Club.  The Bandits Baseball Club is in its 12th year of providing training for players ages 8 to 17.  In addition, the Bandits Baseball Club is sponsoring the following travel teams for 2008:  9u, 10u, 11u, 12u, 13u, 14u, 16u and 17u.  The Bandit teams are not about winning at all cost, but rather looking at the "big picture" of  a player's career.  The Bandits stress fundamentals, knowledge and playing the game the right way.  We're here to assist the player with achieving his goals, whether it be playing high school baseball, college baseball, or possibly beyond.  The Bandit's program has produced several good high school players and almost as many college players in the past 12 years.  Feel free to browse our site and contact us if you should have any questions.
