The Long Island Dodgers Nation Travel Baseball Program combines individualized instruction with qualified and dedicated coaches to develop foundational elements required for long term baseball player and team success. Practices, drills and instruction are designed, organized and planned to deliver maximum development for each player. Players on each team will benefit from having very well qualified coaches that care about their players. The coaches work to develop a work ethic, passion and dogged determination that will help and guide players in their baseball and academic life.
The LI Dodgers Nations coaches are uniquely qualified to ensure steady progress and development of individual players and teams. The coaches have worked in serious baseball environments either as players and/or instructors. All our coaches have had extensive training in our specialized program and have all played at the Collegiate level. Each coach understands what it takes to be successful and perform at the highest levels. The coaches look to convey the important lessons they have learned over the years as student athletes aspiring to get the most out of their ability. They will help your child develop a proper mindset with sharpened focus at practice and during games.
Our coaches provide real world guidance for players with an interest in playing college baseball. Truthful advice and feedback will be provided to parents regarding showcases and scouting. Coaches Christian Byrnes and Gene Walsh (LI Collegiate Astros Coach and Dodgers Nation College Coordinator) both serve as Head of Player Development and have helped match several former players to a college or baseball program that best accommodates the player’s academic, athletic and social well- being. They offer real world experience in this area and can help navigate parents and players.
