The NJ Colts are looking for host families. The Colts play in the prestigious Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, and they’re looking for a few families to provide housing from June 1 to Aug. 1 for players who live out of our area. The players are hard-working, respectful student-athletes, according to team representatives. Several former NJ Colts players have gone on to play professional baseball. Home games are played at Brookdale Community College. Families that are interested in housing and would like additional information are asked to call Bob Hoffman at (732) 671-0616.

The Coast to Coast Amateur Stars are now seeking baseball players ages 11-18 and softball players ages 14-19 from New Jersey who would like the opportunity to represent the United States at a two-week summer tournament in Australia.

Team age groups include 11-12, 13-15 and 16-18 for the boys, and 14-15 and 16-19 for the girls.

The squads are led by top college coaches and pro scouts who provide a unique perspective on what it’s like to play at the game’s highest level.
