Suburban Travel Team News
Did you know that Suburban has select / travel teams for both boys and girls? Nearly 150 boys and girls represented Suburban through the select program, with many having initiated their playing careers in the Suburban in-house leagues. Suburban teams are very competitive in some of the top leagues in the Omaha area. Many Suburban players have gone on to play at local area high schools.

- Costs for the additional games and equipment will be borne by the players.
2011 Boys Travel Program Update
The Omaha Suburban Athletic Association offers a Boys Select Baseball Program for age groups 10-14, the Suburban Stampede. Tryouts for these teams are held in July. These open tryouts are posted in the newspaper, website and on the dugouts at the fields. We encourage any young man who plays in our in-house program to try out. Last season the 10 and 12 yr old teams finished strong and competed in the AA Nebraska state tournament. Our 13 and 14 yr old teams competed in the AAA Nebraska state tournament. The Stampede 11’s ended their season taking 2nd place in the AA Nebraska state tournament. If you have any questions regarding the select boys program, please contact Pete Maschka, the Director of Travel Baseball, at 578-1208.
