Why Choose Aftershock?
There are many great baseball programs in the area, and they all offer high levels of training and competition. So what sets Aftershock apart from the rest?
1. Friendships!
Aftershock teams primarily consist of Mason area kids. 95% of all Aftershock players are Mason and Deerfield residents. That means these kids grow up together, go to school together, and many played Mason Little League rec ball together before joining the Aftershock program. The close knit bond strengthens team comradely and grows long lasting friendships!
2. Low Cost!
Because the Aftershock program is affiliated with Mason Youth Organization, we are able to keep costs low. In fact, our fees are less than HALF of what many other select baseball organizations charge their players.
3. Little League World Series!
While all of the Aftershock teams play a lot of competitive games and area tournaments, many of the teams also choose to play a Little League schedule. This allows those players to be eligible to tryout and compete in the Little League District Tournament, with hopes and dreams of success and eventually advancing to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA!
