About GRIPPIN' SEAMS REVELERS

Grippin’ Seams Revelers (GSR)
God – Family – Baseball

Founded in 2021, Grippin’ Seams Revelers began with a single 13U baseball team in 2022 — a group of dedicated players left without a team when coaches walked away. Rather than giving up, we stepped in. What began as a response to a need quickly became a calling.

By 2023, we had grown to 6 teams ranging from ages 11 to 16. In July of that year, we embraced a new identity — becoming Grippin’ Seams Revelers (GSR) — a name that reflects both the grind of the game and the joy of the journey. We streamlined our program to 4 core teams, moved operations to the Miner/Sikeston area, and launched our training base at Next Level Academy — our private indoor facility in Miner, Missouri.

In Fall of 2024, we expanded into softball, serving athletes across Southern Missouri. Then, in November 2024, we officially launched both baseball and softball programs in the St. Louis market, continuing our mission to impact more players and families through faith, mentorship, and elite competition.

At GSR, we’re about more than wins and stats. While we pursue excellence on the field, we don’t chase trophies that fade. We chase something eternal — life’s ultimate trophy: Jesus Christ, our Lord. Whether we win or lose, He gets the glory. He gave us the talent — it's our job to perfect it with discipline, purpose, and humility.

We develop players from age 8 to 18, offering everything from foundational instruction to high-level recruiting and showcase opportunities. Through it all, we stay rooted in our core values:

• God First
   
• Family Always
   
• Baseball and Softball with Purpose
   

• Faith-Based Culture: We lead with Christ, on and off the field.
   
• Full Development Path: From developmental teams to college-prep showcase squads.
   
• Top-Tier Training: Year-round access to our indoor facility, Next Level Academy.
   
• College Recruiting Focus: Strong connections to college coaches and showcase platforms.
   
• Regional Reach: Now serving both Southern Missouri and the St. Louis area.
