BRUCE McALESTER

Travel Ball, an original screenplay by Bruce McAlester, is an ensemble sports drama about a father and daughter struggling to hold on. It’s about intense competition driving a wedge between best friends, and a coach who lives through his players to rewind his past. They’re all on a collision course with hope, money, and the love of a simple game.

A licensing agreement has been reached with Major League Baseball, and the script vetted by Manchester City F. C., Perfect Game, and ECNL for production partnerships.

Imagine student-athletes navigating the high-pressure youth sports world, fueled by media headlines, sports psychologists, parental expectations, and aggressive agents. The teen drama series explores the temptation of NIL money, performance enhancers, and the inherent drama of adolescence all set on the backdrop of the most scenic and technologically advanced high-school campus on earth, The Academy.

Original screenplays, script coverage, pitch decks, budgets, etc., are available upon request to be submitted by Greenberg Glusker, LLP.
