My son is a 6'-3" RHP who also plays 1B. He played in Orlando on the Dr Phillips JV squad and will be playing again this spring. I am trying to find out how I can locate all of the travel/showcase teams in the central florida area and when they will be conducting tryouts for summer 2011. I have located some by word of mouth and internet, but I am sure there are more.

I want to be sure that he will be on a team that will challenge him, but also be at the level that they can give him enough playing time, and will be attending the appropriate tournaments.

Thanks in advance for any input and suggestions

Aa far as I know, unless things have changed, they choose players from those teams for tryouts, not the whole team.

Try contacting my friends,
Mr. & Mrs. Saladino, Brandon FL.

Each would be sensitive to your request.
Sir,

I was trying to decipher your needs as
it's not clear to me what you seek.

What do you seek?

The POC's I recommended are not in Central Florida, so your requirements as I have understood them remains rather cloudy.

Brainstorming a bit, there are other HSBBWebber, who may fill some gaps / redundancies for you in the Central Florida area.

I was also thinking maybe informally contact the ~25+ FLA College Programs. To start, USF Head Coach Terry Rooney and his Asst's may shed some light on the Central Florida area.

Another thought are a few and legendary FL HS Baseball Head Coaches may be able to scratch your itch. (and you would need to locate the logistics on each). Ron Brooks comes to mind, and another is a
FLA 'Wisconsinite' Rich Hofman - Piper HS


I have seen a FL HS Baseball newsletter (might cost you to obtain) that assimulates admin type data
(that you may be interested in)

The list from Quincy appears complete, and is
an approach for you to consider.
(and you would need to locate the logistics on them)

It appears clear you are trying to help your HS underclassman son as best you can, yet it's not clear you have agreed with yourself on the process you elect to take.

kappish?
