While my son did not make the academic game, he not only had several colleges call/text him telling him they do not understand how he did not make it, but one of the schools that saw him during the try-out called and offered him!

This is an old thread but I thought I might resurrect it for a minute and see if anyone has had experience with this event in the last few years. My 2019 is not currently on a team that will be playing in the Classic but I'm considering taking him for the Senior All-Academic tryout. He's a catcher and, in communication with the event organizer, they said there are typically around 35 that show up at this position and they take 6 or so for the game. Now I don't know if he'd be one of these...

look up thread AZ fall classic.... The Canada team out of Vancouver is an excellent option. The HC routinely picks up players from all over to bolster his roster. Also,look at past years teams that have attended, you may see other teams you can call.

Will do and thanks Gov! I looked up "Senior All-Academic tryout," which is where I found this thread, but haven't really started the team search yet. I appreciate it.

Questions to ask the coach during your unofficial visit When you go on your unofficial visit, one of your top priorities should be to ask the coach any questions you have about the school and the program. Before you go, write down your questions and keep adding to the list throughout your visit. When it’s time to talk to the coach, you’ll have your list ready to go, rather than trying to come up with questions on the spot. Here some examples of questions you might want to ask: What are the...

To be clear, my son is just starting this chaos, so I have NOT been there and done that, but this is what I would like to know. 1. Am I required to live anywhere specific? Some schools have a baseball "house", others say in the dorms, others say they don't care, some make you room with a baseball player. 2. If I take THIS major do you think I can graduate on time or am I required to take summer or winter school? Do you have a cap on the credits per semester I am allowed to take? 3. Can I...

Since you're going to a school with a new coaching staff, you might ask what drew the coaches to the college and what they like about it, plus what they would like to change moving forward and how you might fit into that new direction.

Congrats to you!!! Hope one of those schools ends up being a great fit for you! As for questions, I think a lot depends on what you hope to accomplish as a student and athlete at said school. I know my son wanted to know about player development. What is their track record in terms of developing players? Do they do their best to provide all players multiple opportunities to perform in games and prove themselves? In terms of academics, do they support players who choose to challenge...

Responses above are great. We had a discussion last week with a HC in which my son also asked: What is the team culture? What are you looking for in your 20XX class? Where would you see me fitting?

What questions should I ask on a campus visit? Any chance you could throw in a rally girl with that offer?

No. See ya.

Answer to your first question: my aspirations are just to get a good degree, and then try and enter law enforcement after college. Answer to your second question: I play middle infield-left field and center. I’m fast, I run a 6.9-7 sec 60. I think I have a decent chance to make varsity, if not, at least JV. does d2 also recruit seniors throughout the year?

Short answer: yes. D3 and NAIA schools recruit throughout senior year, and often recruit from their own camps rather than from watching summer travel ball. Most important question: what are your aspirations for college and baseball? Other questions: What position(s) do you play? What are your strengths? Do you think you will make varsity this year as a junior?

Hello. I’m 16 going to be 17 in June. I’ve already created a Twitter account, NCSA profile, and gmail. I’m also trying out for varsity. I wanted to know if I could still be recruited as a senior in HS? also, I can’t play 17u travel ball this year because of family reasons, so I have to tryout for 18u. Is 18u even worth it as far as the recruiting process goes? It would be greatly appreciated if someone gave me advice, thank you!

If you haven’t made varsity yet chances are if there is opportunity it’s at the D3 level. D3 ball is not JV ball. Quality D3 ball is very competitive. Some D3 players were marginal D1 prospects. Many of the D3 players were all conference in high school. They just lack the metrics (throwing velocity, foot speed, hitting exit velocity) to play at higher levels. 18u is not typically a place to be found. Don’t think being found. Get yourself in front of coaches where they are. Find out where the...
