INTRODUCING OUR 14U BASEBALL TEAM!
We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Xcel Athletics and Ghost National Baseball.
This partnership will give athletes from Carroll, Tuscarawas County and surrounding communities access to opportunities far beyond traditional local travel baseball.
Through Ghost National, Xcel athletes will have opportunities to:
• Compete in premier and invite-only tournaments across the country
• Gain national-level exposure
• Increase visibility with college coaches and MLB scouts
• Be evaluated and connected with Ghost National teams based on their ability and potential
• Compete against some of the best players and programs in the country
Our goal at Xcel Athletics is to develop athletes and create opportunities for them to reach their full potential.
This partnership with Ghost National brings those opportunities closer to home.
Big things are ahead for baseball at Xcel Athletics.
