Bandits at Suncoast USSSA Tourney

Bandits at Suncoast USSSA Tourney

Assistant Manager Doug Bast of the Brandon Bandits travel baseball team was happy with the team's play at the USSSA tournament on November 19 and 20 in Bradenton FL.

The Bandits team plays at the 11U level. The Bandits are based out of the Valrico area of Florida with many of the players from the Bloomingdale Baseball League. Doug stated starting in 2016 the players may be travel only.

Doug stated that the Bandits like USSSA a lot. The Suncoast schedules come out on time making it easy for coaches and parents to plan for the weekend. Umpire crews are some of the best we see. They call good games. The team attends 2 to 3 tourneys a month.
