INTRODUCING THE MASS CAPTAINS

Built by players, coaches and parents

Founded by former collegiate and professional baseball players, the Massachusetts Captains Baseball Club is dedicated to developing amateur athletes to compete at their highest level. With firsthand experience as players, coaches, and parents, we understand what truly matters, and what families need, as they navigate the journey of youth sports. From a player's first competitive reps to their final push toward a college roster spot, we build serious baseball players, elite teammates, and better overall athletes.

Our vision: the premier competitive baseball organization in Massachusetts

Our mission: top-tier players and elite teammates, ready for baseball and for life

Every team gets the same high-level instruction

Strength, speed and agility included for 10U and up

WHAT MAKES MASS CAPTAINS DIFFERENT

We build Captains.

01

Consistent coaching, club-wide

Every team in the program gets the same high-level instruction, backed by direct involvement from experienced directors.

02

Elite experience and real recruiting help

College and pro-level coaches with real recruiting insight and broad networks, plus age-appropriate training at every level.

03

Top-tier facility access

Train year-round in one of the largest baseball-specific facilities on the South Shore. No crammed cages or off-site overflow.

04

Clear, consistent communication

We keep families in the loop. No guessing, no gaps, just honest updates and support for your player's growth.

05

Right-sized rosters, bigger roles

Fewer players per team, especially at the younger ages, means more reps, more attention and more opportunity to develop and compete.

06

Built-in athletic training

Team-based strength, speed and agility training included in tuition for all 10U and up players. No extra fees, just better athletes.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Player development is our priority

A structured, four-phase progression from 9U to 17U

01Phase 1

Little League and town ball development, 9U to 12U. We complement local town programs and make the move to travel baseball seamless, from a first ~15-game season to the 50/70 field and a full league and tournament schedule.

02Phase 2

The big diamond, 13U and 14U. More commitment, professional off-season training and a 30 to 40 game schedule on the 60 by 90 field, preparing players for high school baseball.

03Phase 3

Summer season and high school prep, 15U. A summer-only schedule with wood-bat games and tournaments, and an introduction to the college recruiting process.

04Phase 4

College and next-level prep, 16U and 17U. Players come off JV and varsity seasons into competitive tournaments, with the focus on college exposure and development.

The Mass Captains compete in the Perfect Game League as well as several local, regional and national tournaments.
