Interested in Guest Playing for Summer 2020?
The PA Ball Hawks Organization has guest playing opportunities for the following teams/positions.
18u Gold
Looking for an A-level outfielder who has a strong desire to play at the collegiate level. Previous experience in the outfield/situations a MUST! Guest players must attend team practices.
18u Showcase
Looking for A-level players with a strong desire to play at the collegiate level. All positions considered.
16u Futures
Looking for guest players with a strong desire to play at the collegiate level. ALL positions considered, but primary focus is on acquiring outfielders.
14u Black
Looking for outfielders and a catcher to round out this team for the remaining summer season. Previous travel ball experience a must! Guest players must be able to attend team practices.
I always wanted to be a Ball Hawk! The first time I tried out, Coach Mike Somers said to keep working and come back, and that I did. I spent a year getting better and learning more about the game. I came back and made the 16u team, continued to work hard, and eventually, I reached my goal of being on a Ball Hawk 18u team. Being a Ball Hawk means working hard (even when you're not asked to), being a friend (to teammates and coaches), and playing every game like it's your last. Being a Ball Hawk was the BEST decision I've ever made.
— Bailey, 18u Gold
