ABOUT

The Dirtbag Collective is a forward-thinking organization committed to transforming the landscape for Long Beach State baseball players. Founded with a passion for supporting student-athletes, we focus on two key areas: amplifying Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities and alleviating the financial burden of rising scholarship costs.

Our organization serves as a bridge between talented players and valuable resources, fostering partnerships that elevate their visibility and marketability. By leveraging our network and expertise, we create opportunities for athletes to capitalize on their personal brand while ensuring they receive the support necessary to excel in their academic and athletic pursuits.

At The Dirtbag Collective, we believe in the power of community and collaboration. Our team works tirelessly to advocate for the needs of our athletes, driving initiatives that support their growth and development both on and off the field. We are dedicated to upholding the rich tradition of excellence at Long Beach State and equipping our players with the tools they need to succeed.

We aim to empower, support, and celebrate the achievements of Long Beach State baseball players, reinforcing their role as leaders in the sport and in their communities.
