Missouri Bombers Gold 18U

r mission statement drives who we are and what we do:
Our primary goal is to develop young women into highly skilled athletes that can compete for and achieve collegiate scholarships. Yes, we want to win games and compete for National Championships, but at the end of every day, it's about building players, increasing skills and preparing them for the rigors of collegiate softball. This is so fundamentally important to us that we have staff members dedicated to player development. We utilize specific systems to train our players and create fundamental building blocks of softball skills at every age, culminating in a player who's ready to play at the very highest levels. This system was crafted through conversations with college coaches, consultations with MLB coaches and players, conversations with Olympic-level softball players along the experience we've gained in sending players to play ball in college. Since our first senior class in 2008, we've assisted our graduating high school seniors find a college to play softball. Our dedicated college recruiters have long established ties with college coaches throughout the nation and you don't have to look very far to see some major colleges involved with Bombers softball. To date, we've sent over 400 players to 125 different colleges across the nation to play at every level. In 2015 the Bombers started the 4 the Heroes Foundation to honor America’s heroes. The foundations jersey awareness program has received a lot of National attention recently. Players in our program wear jerseys that have the name of fallen or severely wounded hero on the back. The teams will hold a ceremony for the family of the hero and give them a framed jersey to let them know they are not forgotten. We currently have jerseys to honor military, police and firefighters.
