Tryouts

• Character & Culture – Our foundation is built on respect, effort, teamwork, and the right attitude both on and off the field.
• Program Continuity – From youth (9U-14U) through high school (15U-18U), we maintain consistency so players can grow within the same program.
• Professional Coaching Environment – We deliver a structured, high-energy experience worthy of elite programs, while preserving the fun and camaraderie of the game.

We will conduct a structured set of evaluations covering:

• Hitting / Offensive Skills – contact, swing mechanics, situational approach
• Defense (Infield/Outfield) – footwork, glove work, throws, situational awareness
• Pitching & Catching (where applicable) – arm strength/velocity, command, receiving/blocking skills
• Athleticism & Game IQ – hustle, base running, decision making, game-awareness
• After the on-field portion, we’ll review placements and next-steps. Players will be notified of roster decisions within 3-7 days depending on the size of the tryout.
