Can anyone tell me where to find information on this year's Aflac All-American game?
When I go the website, it just shows 2006 info.

Same as last year, San Diego.
The game time is Aug 11th at 1PM at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
Rosters will be finalized around June 19th. A few early picks will be announced shortly. We select all the players, but Aflac makes all the announcements and/or press releases.
Hope that helps a little.

I assume it's to late to attend a tryout or showcase to be considered.
Rosters are finalized June 19th. That is our deadline. I would attend pro tryouts, try to get invited to USA Baseball, talk to MLB scouts and have them call us, or try to get into a high level event/showcase/tournament that is held before the deadline. If none of that can be done, send a complete resume to staff@perfectgame.org
We are looking for the top 38 players in the country... 19 from the East and 19 from the West. There are several MLB Scouting Directors we consult with. Somebody important to the process needs to see a player before we will invite him.
In the first 4 years... 1 out of every 4 Aflac All Americans has been drafted in the first round the following year. Others have signed for 1st round type money despite getting drafted later (Dellin Betances, Austin Jackson, Nick Adenhart, etc. Many have been 2nd round picks and others have become college stars and will be drafted early out of college. Almost every player has turned out to be a good choice. We believe the 2007 draft will have the most Aflac All Americans ever to go in the first round.
And yes, we have missed a few real good ones. We are selecting them a full year or more before the draft.

O.K. Thank You for the information. Will you be attending the 18U WWBA @ East Cobb this summer?
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'll be there when I'm not working. Maybe I'll see you there.
