Who We Are
The Niagara Power, named for the Power that is made evident when admiring Niagara Falls, is an expansion team in the New York Collegiate Baseball League (NYCBL) and is an Affiliate of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), a national, faith-based ministry. FCA partnered with Cal Kern (Grand Island, NY) and the city of Niagara Falls to establish the Niagara Power in 2007.
The Power 2010 Season will begin in June at Sal Maglie Stadium. The Power provides opportunities for furthering baseball skills and abilities of collegiate players while also emphasizing the importance of character, integrity, and excellence in baseball and in the community.
The Power strongly believes in being active in the community and participating in many service opportunities. We have established our program to be an instrument to give back to our neighborhoods and region.

"First of all, I want to thank you for the opportunity to play another summer in Niagara Falls for the Power. It was an unbelievable experience for me both years. The main reason I am writing is to hopefully express to you my gratitude and thank you for all you have shown me over the past two summers...The Lord has been so good to me by putting people like you in my life to help me learn in such a vital stage of my life."
- Drew Hollinghead, RH Pitcher, 2007 & 2008 Season
"Can't thank you enough for taking your time, devoting it to so many people you don't know. I admire that greatly. Thank you for taking care of my son and the other guys that were sent to you this summer. Some have had their lives changed through your ministry. Some may have missed the message temporarily. All have benefited from the examples shown and the love shared by you, your family, and the Power staff.
God only knows what kind of impact has been made on these guys. We have witnessed the beginning of new life and further growth in others. As we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses I imagine they are all on their feet as the season comes to a close, thanking you for all the dedication and work put into the entire summer. We are indebted to you. Matt will be able to draw from this experience for the rest of his life and will no doubt influence others in much the same way."
-Rex Schimpf, father of Matt Schimpf (RH Pitcher - 2009 Season)
