The Long Island Express is an independent travel baseball organization that was established in 2004. At this time, there are two teams 12U and 14U, that consists of players from Suffolk County, Long Island. The organizer and manager of the team, Tom Steigerwald, along with the coaching staff and its members have aspired to create an organization which will continue to develop its player's knowledge and philosophies of baseball on what we call "Our Field of Dreams".

With objectives in mind for the organization and its players, we take pride in offering a well rounded coaching staff to teach and motivate the team to play the American pastime, Baseball. While the organization is young, all of the managing staff and the majority of the teams have been together for the past six years.

We are looking forward to expanding the organization's team divisions, taking our time do this in the proper manner is important. We want to ensure that the players remain a primary focus and each added team will receive equal attention in achieving the goals the organization has set forth.

On the baseball diamond many dreams can come true. Whatever they may be; respect, courage, team spirit or just playing ball, we are trying to help our players fulfill theirs.
