Frequent clinics with advanced mechanic instruction for specific position groups and skills. Manager and coach development through mentoring and detailed instruction.
Detailed practice, lesson and training plans and video subscriptions available families and coaches to provide more consistent player development. Physical training and rehabilitation resources provided by certified trainers.
Southies Baseball was founded in 2018 when Charles Amante formed a squad of skilled 8-year-old players to compete in the Little League CA District 30 Machine Pitch Tournament, where they won the tournament championship. The name “Southies” was coined as an homage to the players’ home Little League (South Sunrise Little League in Orange, CA).
Desiring to enhance their baseball development, the “Southies” continued to play Fall baseball together over the next five years, culminating in traveling to the 2022 Cooperstown All Star Village International Tournament in Cooperstown, New York, where they finished 18th out of the 60+ teams at the tournament.
Today, most of the original Southies players continue to play baseball for top-caliber travel baseball teams and high-school feeder teams, proving that talented baseball players can remain in Little League and still develop as athletes without solely playing year-round travel baseball.
In Fall of 2023, a new generation of 9u and 10u Southies began their journeys together, marching toward the same goal of improving as a club-caliber baseball player while simultaneously enjoying the fun and community of Little League Baseball.

My son has played on the Southies travel baseball team for two years now. The Coach's wisdom and passion for the game shows through his coaching. I enjoy watching the coaches engage with each player on the field and being specific to each player's needs without compromising time with others. They truly cares about each and everyone of the players. Thank you Coaches for helping with our son's success on and off the field.

The Southies fall ball season was an amazing learning experience for our son. It was obvious the coaches were passionate about not only improving skills with the boys, but also creating a team comrade where teammates truly cared for each other. After finishing the Little League season, the Southies team gave our son an opportunity to play at a higher level of competition because of the advanced training and techniques provided by the coaches. Ending the season with a trip to Henderson for the tournament was the perfect way to wrap up our son’s favorite season of baseball to date.

We couldn’t be happier with our Southies experience. The coaches are wonderful! Not only was our son taught how to play the game in a challenging and positive way, but he also learned how to be a team player and most importantly have fun. We are very pleased with the growth we’ve seen in our son as a player and athlete since being a part of the Southies!
