We plan to have 2 team practices a week, and then one day where each kid will get a one on one with the coaches.
There are a lot of teams out there that are just trying to put a team together to play, but we are trying to develop the kids and get them ready for high school ball and so on.
Learning starts now for these kids and we plan to help them grow along with their game.

During Grossi Baseball's 13 year run, it was responsible for producing many Major League players such as Jim Abbott, Scott Aldred, Jeff Hamilton, and many more.
Grossi Baseball was responsible for producing collegiate baseball players, like Linden's own Steve Buerkel, and Darrin Dreasky. 85% of former Grossi players went on to play at the collegiate level.
Wearing the Grossi uniform was a dream and an honor for many youth baseball players and every scout and local baseball person knew who you were and respected the organization.
In 1981 and 1991, Grossi Baseball teams were National Runners Up and made it to the Connie Mack World Series on three occasions.
All Grossi Baseball teams won their league championships and took on all challengers in Michigan and throughout the country.
Grossi Baseball was known Nationally and during their Grossi runs, several players played against future Hall of Famers like Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Larkin, and Derek Jeter. |

| Team Info: | The 2011 Livonia Rattlers Team just finished our inaugural season with KVBSA. We finished the season with a 16-1-1 record, which was good enough to be the Community Division Champion.
Next season, we will likely move up to the Advanced Division for the 12U 2012 season.
We will also participate in 3-4 tournaments, including Cooperstown, NY, which should be a fantastic experience for the little leaguers.
Our goal is to challenge the players to compete to their highest level both physically and mentally.
Winning is not our primary goal. Our primary goal is to see our players develop throughout the season.
