13U Redbirds
are Global Sports World Series Champions (7-18-10)
Early this
morning, the 13U Redbirds faced a tough opponent in the semi-final
game, but edged the GM Ragin Rams 4-2. In the Championship Game, the bats
were alive and the defense was stingy, as the Redbirds defeated the
Kansas City Cougars 9-4, earning the Redbirds its first World Series
Championship.
In what
could have been a second World Series title within a matter of hours,
the 12U Redbirds fell to the Des Moines Tigers in the Championship
Game. In the semi-final game,
the 12U team got by the Jefferson City Vipers in a 3-1 battle.
Congratulations
to both groups of young men for representing the Quad Cities in fine
fashion!

The goal of every Quad City Redbird team
player should be to strive to excel at the game of baseball. To
participate at a high level, it is not necessary that a player be an exceptional baseball
talent, only that he has average or better athletic ability, a love
for the game and a willingness to work to be the best he can be at
the game. Hard work and dedication go along way in becoming an
outstanding player.

USSSA State Results
The 11U Redbirds fought
valiantly, losing a one-run game to open the tournament and losing
another after coming back from a 5 run deficit to tie the game in
their last at-bat. They
finished 15th at the AAA level and closed the season with a 30-17
record.
The 12U Redbirds finished 6th
at the Major level.
The 13U Redbirds clawed their
way through the competition to meet up against the 3 time State
Champion, Des Moines Oaks. The
Birds tied the game at 11 in the 7th inning, but things just didn't
go their way. The Oaks got a
run in the bottom of the 7th, to hand the boys a runner-up
finish. A 2nd place finish at
the Major level is nothing to be ashamed about. Nice job fellas!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The goal of the Redbird
organization is to provide a structured environment along with a
healthy All-American setting that creates the best atmosphere for
learning and growth for both the player and parent. The Redbirds
devote their time to the spirit of the game by teaching baseball
fundamentals in an environment that is intense, but still fun for the
boys.
Each year the Redbirds field teams of the highest caliber players
from all over the greater Quad City area. As a member of the Redbirds
these boys are part of one of the most competitive baseball for
players in their age division, they will obtain an increased
knowledge in the game of baseball and will compete against some of
the best teams on the local, state, and national levels. The Redbirds
have currently fielded teams in the 11U, 12U, 13U and 14U divisions.
The Redbirds compete with other area ball teams in the Mississippi Valley Baseball League (MVBL).
The Quad City Redbirds emphasize a team atmosphere that instills
dedication, sportsmanship, character and courage along with allowing
the boys to develop skills in the mental and physical aspects of the
game of baseball. Our players and coaches are dedicated to America's
pastime and are confident in the ability to field first-rate baseball
teams.
The success of the Redbirds on and off the field is a result of the
commitment of our players and parents. Without the dedication of
these remarkable individuals we would not be able to accomplish the
goals that we set each season.
