Come Play For The Nebraska Sluggers
...It's A Whole New Level Of The Game!
Building A Better Team...Player by Player...Game by Game

Starting in the Summer of 2009, the Nebraska Sluggers established themselves as a new force in
the
Premier Baseball League.  Starting in June and finishing at the end of July, this year's edition of
the played in the very best ball parks from Haymarket Park in Lincoln, Nebraska to Texas Christian
University in Dallas against the very best teams from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri,
Tennessee, and even New York!

This year, college coaches sent their recruits to the Sluggers to get the "out of state" experience and
exposure necessary to play at all college levels.  The Sluggers surprised many teams.  This year we
competed with and beat teams such as:

  • Bayside Yankees
  • Kansas City Sluggers
  • Rawlings Travelers
  • Kansas City Hornets
  • Midwest Nationals
  • and Many others.










Each player developed as a team and as an individual through the "Sluggers Experience."  Each
game the Sluggers learned they could "hang" with the D-I recruits from Kansas to Texas and from
Oklahoma to Tennessee.

Instead of seeing 4 to 6 D-I players in an entire Americal Legion summer, the Sluggers often saw
teams with as many as 8 or 9 D-I players on a single team.  The competition is high, and the
Sluggers had to elevate their game....and they were up to the challenge.  Enjoy this website and

Seniors, you can benefit by playing teams made up primarily of  Division-I committed players before
heading off to college.   Endorsed by Bill Olson,
"Omaha's Dean of Baseball" this program is
providing an avenue that allows a path for many of our talented players to be seen outside the state
of Nebraska by MLB Scouts and College Coaches.  This past year, our team played in the following
venues:



•        T.R. Hughes Stadium – Saint Louis, MO
•        Kansas State University – Manhattan, KS
•        Wichita State University – Wichita, KS
•        Haymarket Park – Lincoln, NE
•        University of Arkansas – Fayetteville, AR
•        Middle Tennessee State – Murfreesboro, TN
•        Texas Christian University – Fort Worth, TX





Also, key to the program's development has been the quality of coaching and instruction.  Head
Coach
Johnny Graves, Jess Bream and with guidance from Bill Olson, the Sluggers play a hard-
nosed brand of ball.  Each weekend the improvement was substantial.  By the end of the summer
2009, Premier League teams knew they were in for a scrappy game against the Sluggers.  

Come join us in 201
1 for a life-changing experience and the challenge of playing baseball at it's
highest level.
