I was first introduced to International Baseball in 1992 while representing Major League Baseball International as part of an envoy team to the Czech Republic.  This was the beginning of my passion for International Baseball.  This experience granted me the opportunity of working under great mentors for the four years that followed.    I am grateful for the opportunity to travel the world, experience different cultures and develop the game of baseball internationally.  I am excited to share this opportunity with other players and teams looking to experience the same.  

Here are some of the amazing Benefits:

• Memories that will last a lifetime! - Once you experience this once in a lifetime opportunity to play for NLS, the pictures you will collect from the trip will not be as vivid as the memories that you will cherish forever.
• The honor to represent the USA! – You have been selected as a respected athlete, to represent the greatest country in the world in international competition.
• The opportunity to win an International Championship! – Those NLS Championship teams who have come home victorious have said that winning an international competition is one of the greatest moments of their lives so far.
• The chance to play with the some of the world’s best! – The teams that you will be competing against are some of the best players from their country. Some of these teams are the National teams who represent their country in all major international competition.
• Friendships that will last a lifetime! – The NLS players from the first year of competition have said they are still very close friends with their teammates even today!
• A highlight on your resume that you played for a select USA team! – You will always be able to list your selection to NLS as a major milestone in your life on your resume to show off your good success.
• The chance to experience a foreign culture with local people! –You are more than just a tourist with NLS. You have the opportunity to experience a new culture from within the local community.
• The opportunity to play with other Americans! – You will not only be competing with the best players in the world but you will be playing with some of the best players from your league and even the entire country.
• The chance to make the papers both in the USA and abroad! – It is really cool to read about yourself in your local paper or college newsletter but to read about yourself in a foreign language in another country is awesome!
• The chance to get noticed by an international scout! – Some NLS players have received professional contracts to play abroad after traveling with NLS.
• The opportunity to develop friendships in other countries! – You will have the chance to not only meet people from other countries but you will also have the chance to build relationships with them which could last a lifetime.
• A priceless experience that you may never have offered to you again! – You have been selected among an elite group of players. NLSI sends out a very limited amount of invitations per year to put together the best teams in the country to represent the USA. You have one of those invitations which means you are in a very small percentage of college athletes. The chance that you will be offered this opportunity is more than likely just as small or smaller.
