100% of 06 Grads Moving on to Play in College

With the summer winding down it’s getting close to the time for all of our 06 grads to move on to the next level. When Golden Era’s 18U team took the field for the first time over Memorial Day weekend in 2005, with mainly all juniors at the time, never did we imagine that little over a year later 100 percent of our 1st graduating class of players would be moving on to play college baseball.
 
Through a lot of hard work, sacrifice and dedication on behalf of the players though, everyone of our graduating seniors will be continuing there baseball days at the next level, everywhere from Harvard, to the junior college ranks, all the way thru one of the best division I teams in the country.

Knowing how hard all these players have worked and to see them be rewarded in this fashion.is the most satisfying feeling coaches could ever have. It's what it's really all about.

We wanted to say congratulations to all of our 06 grads and we wish you continued success at the college level. We're extremely proud of all of you. We also wanted to say thank you to the tremendous parent support we have had from day one from each of these families and every family from within the program!!! Without that support from the parents none of this would be possible. Thank you and enjoy San Diego to see this special group together for one last time.
