Italy trip for HS players still has spots open!

AMERICA’S TEAM LOOKING FOR PLAYERS TO PLAY IN ITALY​

For high school baseball players, the opportunity to travel overseas and represent their country playing baseball is a dream generally reserved for a select few. In July, 2012, America’s Team (a foremost expert in international baseball travel) is offering a chance for local players (16-18) to make this dream come true.

Jim Knight, a recently retired high school baseball coach in Cabarrus county and a former minor league pitcher, will be coaching America’s Team as they travel to Italy from July 23-31, 2012. Those that make the trip will see the exciting cities of Milan, Verona, Florence and Rome while visiting historical sites like the Vatican, the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Basilica. Participating players will play 5-6 games while interacting with foreign players and sampling the local cuisine and culture.

“The price is high (approximately $4,500)”, said Knight (who is also a World History teacher), “but the experience will be priceless….and America’s Team has many fundraising opportunities to help lessen the financial burden of the trip.”

If you are interested in applying for this trip or simply want more information, check out the trip on Coach Knight’s website at www.coachknightbaseball.com or email at [email protected].

 

I really hope that people don't let the cost to become a dissuading factor. If you know of a good player and an even better young man looking to represent our country and to be exposed to a once in a lifetime experience, then please contact Coach Knight immediately.

We will find a way to help pay one's expense: The most important thing is to find the right players.

THANK YOU

Thanks Braves. Truly appreciate the support. I have a kid at Central that really wants to go - what should I tell him about the "support" you are talking about? He is a kid that would work to help pay for it and dad can probably handle some of the expense but not the whole thing.
Let me know what you are thinking and if there is any way I can help. Thanks - Coach Knight

 

I'll PM you with a response

 

ok - thank you.
