After a full winter of practices in our new facility, The BRUCE, located at 663 Lawrence Street and equipped with over 6,000+ feet of turf and baseball cages, the Boomer Baseball 2025 season has officially kicked off with players across the Lowell community representing their respective teams and high schools in early baseball action.
Our program boasts 11 baseball teams for 2025 ranging from the 9U to 17U levels. Teams compete in the Perfect Game New England League which brings together the top baseball talent in travel baseball in New England.
Our non-high school age levels will compete in games and tournaments throughout the Spring before changing banners to represent the Lowell Youth Baseball district and travel teams throughout the summer. Our high-school players will compete for their high school teams in the spring and then come together to play top competition across the area in the summer. Let’s meet this year’s teams…
