I have invitational try outs for a very highly competive 15u team this next saturday and sunday (17th, 18th). Theirs 8 kids coming back from the team last year and their only taking 3-4 more kid. Luckly one of the coaches knows me from playing on a all county team with his son, so that should help me a little. But anyone got any last minute tips?

AND BUSTLE!!!!

Couldn't stop myself cong...sorry.

rhbaseball: Cong is right...hustle...coaches especially like and notice that...and relax...be confident, courteous, and respectful...remember what they say about first impressions...they're the most important ones. Much success to you...let us know how you did.

Totally forget this and try out like you dont know a soul.........

Want to be there, show it in everything you do....hustle, dont show any disapointment.....Dont throw gear or kick bags, it doesnt show desire, It shows immaturity.....

Do your best and let the chips fall where they may.....I'll be pulling for you.

Just a though

8 returnees and 3 or 4 newbies--how do they compete in tournaments --that is a very small roster-- in my eyes that leads to arm wear and then some

Find out if any coaches or team administrators have sons on the team, find out what position they play, and AVOID those spots--even if you know you are better than them. With a roster that small, if you can show versatility, that is even better.

The coach said theirs already like 6 kids that pitch. Luckly I pitch so it'll give me some more advantage.
