Chaminade or any team that plays st. johns

I know that St. Anthony's have a great class of juniors coming up.

They won the freshman championship and JV championship.

They have a few stand out pitchers and a 3B that hits lefty. Don't know his name.

I was always curious. Do any of these private schools ever offer money or scholarships to entice kids to play for any of there teams? Baseball, football, etc?

On the record I'm sure no, but St Anthony's supposedly had a football player from out of state???The bus ride home everyday must be horrible...

A parent once said to me St. Anthony's offered him somthing for his son (baseball) is he good enough yes but his son still goes to public hs....I would be supprised if a school like Chaminade would offer as they are not so easy to get into

Scholarship for baseball?

On the record?

Give me a break. Who? They go to 8th grade summer league games?

People say this to make themselves feel better.

COLLEGES barely give scholarships for baseball.

Not surprised- seems like sports 1st and grades second there[ St. Anth.]-I doubt Chaminade would do it-I understand in near future Chaminade might have majority of their tuition paid for from alumni-very nice!!!

My child was approached by most of the Catholic schools at his last middle school game.....They wanted him so bad they offered free HS for 4 years and they would pay for his college. No need to pay for his college as at that same game 10 scouts from various MLB teams offered to pay for his college, I said no thanks he wants to go to school with his friends...He now runs cross country and remembers his glory days of the middle school.....

Correction: St. Doms = Titans
St. Marys = Whalers

Also grants or money for academics is not SPORTS scholarship.

Also PS- PARENTS LIE... "my kid has a scholarship", "oh my kid has a free ride." etc. Lots of bull.

Catholic High School's have freshman level teams (9th gradeers) so he probably won't make the JV.
BTW boys this was a joke, its an alter ego comment to the contradictions posted here.....My son is starting Catholic next fall, if he makes the JV team great if not its a learning experience and he'll learn to work harder if he wants it..

this is exactly what i have been saying let them enjoy baseball but make them learn .maybe you can get academic money. there is where the road to college is.the odds are astronomical to make the college level--forget pros.play ball have fun but learn hard

The odds against playing baseball at an NCAA member institution are high but I would not describe them as astronomical.

Less than three in 50, or about 5.6 percent, of high school senior boys interscholastic baseball players will go on to play men's baseball at a NCAA member institution.

The odds of playing pro ball if you play NCAA are high against but actually improve by almost double. Less than eleven in 100, or about 10.5 percent, of NCAA senior male baseball players will get drafted by a Major League Baseball (MLB) team.

The odds against playing pro ball if you do not play NCAA are extremely high against. Approximately one in 200, or approximately 0.5 percent of high school senior boys playing interscholastic baseball will eventually be drafted by an MLB team.

Parents on LI have no clue, get your sons grades in order stop worrying about who can help with baseball scholarship money which is almost non existent. When he's 17 get him a job in the summer and let him know what it is to start working for a living because he will have to do it for the next 40 years or more. Take a look at the hitting instructors around now that played college and minor leagues struggling to get by on your lesson money. They couldn't make it themselves but are know scavenging off of your money and unrealistic dreams for your kids.

Speak for yourself. Have you read the 11 u thread. It is the greatest assemblage of talent in the History of L.I. baseball. They actually have kids that can hit a ball over a 200 foot fence with an aluminum bat and pitchers that can throw 60 mph. These kids are way past Division 1 at least 20 of them will be drafted right out of High School.

Everyone,
OK, Ghandi, I got a bridge I want to sell you-nepotism is alive and well here as well as every day life, just didnt think at 8k tuition these kids had to learn it as part of the ciriculum...
The revulsion concerning catholic high school baseball needs to end. Whether you troll these message boards as a current player, former player or parent, you need to remember that this is only high school baseball. Despite what many believe, the events that occur from freshmen year to senior year of high school do not define yours or your child’s life.

What are you trying to accomplish by calling out schools and coaches? Do you honestly believe that one or a series of posts on a forum site is going to change the mind of either the coach or the school that you or your child attends? Despite what you may believe about yourself or your child you should know that each year upwards of half a million high school students participate in organized high school baseball programs. Your child may well be a great ballplayer and if that is the case they will be found. The perceived ceiling that you feel your son’s coach has put over him is not there. If the kid is any good, someone who represents some team or program will find him.

Is it really worth it? Is it worth logging onto a third party forum site and spewing useless words? The hating needs to stop. Whether you are a child or the parent of a child please bear in mind that what you type really doesn’t make an impact. What will make an impact as a child would be focusing your efforts on not harboring ill will but instead working to get better or hell even dropping the sport and finding a new avenue in life. As a parent, do you really spend time trying to force a high profile onto your child by making ridiculous assertions such as nepotism? If you were an adult you would know that favoritism is present in every aspect of life, the world beyond high school seems to be built on the pillars of equal opportunity but it is a well-respected life lesson that it is who you know not what you know.

The point of this post is to make an honest plea to everyone on this board, as a new season approaches maybe you can take a new approach and stop the hating. Honestly, since you entered your post onto this board has your world seemed that much better?

Yeah, wait till these kids get on the big field they are all playing on a 75 base field 200 ft shot is now an outs...I hear ya tope 5 teams may just go pro

No one is putting down 11yr olds here just joking about the adults who post on that thread...yes some kids throw hard but things CAN change on the big field...I hope they do well going forward cause LI needs to get out there and win out of state

You guys are funny that you can stoop to putting down 11 year olds. By the way 60mph and 200ft fences is low for the kids and teams they are talking about on that post. Some throw in 70s and the big hitters have hit balls 250-270. Pretty sure that is not a fly ball homerun.

how did the catholic HS teams do this weekend scrimmaging?

Scores don't matter; it's just a scrimmage (practice). Our coach changes pitchers every 2 innings. BTW, Catholic schools use wood bats, while public schools use metal & composite.

^ Don't care what people say its not a wood bat.

Don't tell me its the same or wood is better, people to fulfill their ego say that.

Wood is harder to hit, period.

Yea your right trained by the same person who has 29 guys drafted and St. Anthony's freshman and JV had three pitchers that let up a total of 5 runs and a lot of the kids play on the same summer team and they win both years.

People think that every person should be taught different. Thats a joke.

if there is a correct way of doing it and the human body is the same, they should all do it that way.

I commend him for not letting kids do what they want.

PLUS he has no one throw any off-speed pitches, they are all healthy, all throw strikes and now all throw hard. So get on that.

SJB hasnt lost a non league or scrimmage yet so all you parents who know nothing about their childs league can ******* St. Doms has zero talent this year and chami has one returning player. St ants hasnt won since vietnam and will not in the future. Holy trinity is favorite but will crumble just like they did in playoffs last year against a st. john the baptist team who is twice as good

Way too much corruption in the Catholic League. Hard to believe but true. Teams have affiliations with travel teams that now step over the line. Travel Coaches now part of HS coaching staff- roster selection, playing time etc. Some HS coaches are paid by the players (parents) for their travel teams coached by the same person before HS ball begins.

Heaven forbid that your son doesnt change over to the school's affiliated team that costs in the thousands. NOT a good environment anymore if you were hoping for integrity and honesty in High School.

The above post sounds like St. Anthony's High School, run by CGI
Baseball with Rob Steinert running the program. It is a nightmare
for your son if you can not afford to pay CGI's inflated fees!
