XLB Training owns and operates two collegiate wood bat clubs in the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League, the XLB Snappers and the XLB Wave. Both are run out of our Boynton Beach facility, and both exist for the same reason the facility does: to give players a real place to keep developing after high school.
Most families meet the XLB pathway at Stage 01 or Stage 02. The question that comes next, usually around a player's sophomore year, is what happens after Elite. This is the answer, and we own it outright.
Learning the fundamentals of baseball and building a love for the game.
Real improvement begins. Building skills, athleticism, and confidence.
This is where players separate themselves. By what they put in.
Maximizing power, command, and skill at the highest level of training.
Wood bat summer baseball with the XLB Snappers and the XLB Wave, while training year-round at the facility.
Stages 01 through 04 run through private training and memberships and the XLB Wave youth travel program. Stage 05 runs through the two collegiate clubs on this page.
We did not buy into a collegiate league for the logo. We did it because the hardest part of a player's development is the part nobody hands him: the summer after his freshman year of college, when he needs at bats against real arms, a coach who knows his delivery, and a place to lift and hit in the eight months that are not summer.
Owning the clubs is how we control all three. The South Florida Collegiate Baseball League publishes 4760 Woolbright Rd, Unit 104 as the indoor training facility for both the XLB Snappers and the XLB Wave, which is not a marketing claim. It is where those players actually work.
Most facilities sell lessons. We build a pathway.
Both clubs play a summer wood bat schedule in the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League. Both are operated by XLB Training. Rosters, schedules and box scores live on each club's own site and on the league site, so what follows is who they are rather than what the standings said last Tuesday.
The Snappers are the club closest to the facility, and it shows in how they are built. Rosters lean toward players we already know, including XLB athletes who came up through the pathway and are now home for the summer, alongside recruits from programs around the country who want South Florida at bats and a facility to train in while they get them.
They are also the winningest club in league history, with five South Florida Collegiate Baseball League championships: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024 and 2025. Snappers alumni have gone on to professional baseball, including Matt Svanson, who pitched for the club in 2020 and is now a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The staff is coach-first rather than administrator-first. Ryan Lamb runs the club as general manager, and the bench is staffed by current college coaches, which means the people running a practice in June are the same people recruiting, evaluating and developing at the next level in the spring. Home games are played at Burt Aaronson Park, South County Regional in Boca Raton, and the club trains indoors at XLB Training in Boynton Beach all year. Players get a delivery or a swing looked at by someone who will still be looking at it in November, which is the part a summer league normally cannot offer.
The Wave carries a name our eight-year-olds already wear. That is deliberate. A kid on the XLB Wave travel team can watch a college roster wearing the same name he has on his chest, which is a more useful thing for a ten-year-old to see than any speech we could give him about hard work.
On the field the Wave is built around pitching development and roster depth. The club is run by current college coaches, so arms get managed to a plan rather than to a Sunday bracket, and position players get volume, because a summer where a player sat is a summer that did nothing for him.
Home games are played at Pompano Community Park in Pompano Beach, and like the Snappers, the Wave trains indoors at XLB Training in Boynton Beach through the offseason as well as the summer.
A wood bat removes the margin a metal bat gives back. Barrel the ball or do not. Players find out fast what their swing really is, and that is the point of the summer.
College coaches and professional scouts watch these games. The league's Commissioner of Baseball is an area supervisor for the Kansas City Royals, and league alumni have gone on to pro ball. A summer here is a full season of development that happens in front of the people who make those decisions, not four games and a long drive home.
Both clubs train indoors at XLB. Lifting, Rapsodo work and cage time continue through the season, so August does not undo what June built.
You are asking whether the place your son trains has any idea what happens after high school, or whether it is going to hand you a schedule, take your money, and wish you luck in June of his senior year.
Here is our answer. We run the stage after Elite ourselves. We know what a college coach asks for in a recruiting conversation because we have those conversations as a club. And when your player is finally the one on a wood bat roster, the people evaluating him will be people who watched him at thirteen.
This is not a hypothetical for us. Players who trained and played with us in middle school and high school are on our collegiate rosters right now. We have walked those families from a first lesson at twelve all the way to a wood bat summer at twenty, and that full circle is the whole reason the pathway exists.
None of that starts with a roster spot. It starts with knowing exactly where he stands today, which is what the assessment is for.
Every Flag On That Wall Was A Player First.
If your player has a dream to play college baseball, we have the pathway in place to get there. It starts with 60 minutes, one real assessment, and a written plan.
