Senior Legion state appearances 2012, 2021, 2023. 100+ players into college baseball since 2007. 6 teams playing American Legion and Nebraska Reserves Baseball
If you have a 9th - 12th, the Sox are starting tryouts for the 2025 season soon. Please take a look and ask questions. Entering our 19th year of play with additions each year to help players looking for college opportunities and those wanting to keep playing the game.
Before going to one of those big box store tryouts, please do some research! We are not a rec league, and we don't have multiple teams in our age groups. We have had many players go on to play college ball and compete at the next level.
Talked to a dynamic SEC recruiting coordinator who's won a national championship.
He said they have a recruiting rule.
If a kid has played at 2 or more high schools or 2 or more high school age travel programs.
They won't offer them.
He said if they've bounced around that much.
They won't be able to make them and their parents happy.
I wanted to share with the beginning of the 2025 season getting started, that I have stepped away from the field this year. Due to an unexpected set of circumstances, I have stepped away from the Millard Sox Seniors Gold team and the day to day of the Millard Sox Organization.
If your kid plays on a pay-for-play travel team that doesn't practice, and the coach/GM says he has to "earn" his playing time, what are you spending your money on if the kid slumps and loses his spot in the lineup?

I've seen too many parents force-feeding their hopes, dreams, and desires on their children.
Very rarely does it work out well.
God gives us freedom of choice
My son, Christian, retired from baseball when he was 4.
He chose karate, then tennis, then crew. Sports I knew nothing about.
He stole the two basic things every dad needs: the ability to second-guess the coach and over-coach his own kid.
All I could do was show up, drive, and cheer. And when the game was over, I'd just say "I loved watching you do what you do."
Some parents say, "I'll let him do whatever he wants, and maybe he'll come back to baseball."
Stop. You just ruined it. You're still holding on.
Your job as a parent isn't to mold them into who you want them to be. It's to put them in the best position to be happy and successful at what THEY love to do.
Our children aren't here to live out OUR dreams. They're here to discover their own.
They're not pieces, they're players. They've got heartbeats. When we eliminate the heartbeat, the game becomes sterile. Don't take the heart out of the player.
𝗛𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲-𝗶𝘀𝗺 #𝟮𝟱: Celebrate others success; when you celebrate others, you get to celebrate way more often.
I believe in finding joy in others success even if it's not natural at first
I used to be all about my own performance.
But through baseball, I learned the power of celebrating teammates.
When you genuinely cheer for others wins, you create a culture of shared joy.
It's not about you; it's about us.
Celebrate others, and you'll find yourself celebrating way more often.
