Slammers are Expanding!
Following the 11u amazing success, the Boston Slammers are pleased to announce expansion!
Since most of the 11u girls are matriculating up to the 13u division, and since we’ve received so many inquiries, we are creating a new 11u team and adding on a new 17u team!
New Coaches!
John Choe is our new 11u Slammers Coach! Many of you know him from his many years of coaching Regan Youth League and his daughter Ginny is excited to be on the Slammers.
Nelson Laboy is our new 18u Slammers Coach! Nelson has played and coached baseball, and recently has been coaching girls softball. You might remember him from our practices at the Tobin. He is also Coach Miguel’s brother.
We are proud to add such talented coaches to our growing family!

CBS Footage of the Slammers
Several Boston Slammers players can be seen in a CBS featurette of the Nationals in Rockford, IL.:
“A national baseball tournament that’s just for girls will play its championship game Monday in Rockford, Illinois. Seventeen teams from the U.S. and Canada traveled there to play on a field that holds a special place in the history of women’s baseball. Jericka Duncan reports on today’s girls who like playing hardball, not softball.”
