Reply to "Securing A Area Code Tryout"

My 2019's experience mirrors what WESTCOASTPAPA describes, including playing on a high profile travel club.

Two paths have been described above - either being a recognized, highly regarded prospect or leveraging a networking approach - to get an invite.  There may be a third path as well.

For my son, his participation and performance in the 2018 NorCal World Series was the most likely reason he was invited to try out.  There are probably a set of events nationally that serve as "feeders" because they tend to draw a large number of college coaches and scouts.  I would bet that it's possible to figure out what these events might be and that it's probably easier to get invited there than it might be to network into the AC.  If a kid performs well at an event like NorCal WS it raises profile and creates momentum at the right time.
