Summer 2011

Thanks Dad04. We go to Next level already for pitching/hitting. Sometimes with Sal, more often with Jon Wano. We attended the scorpions tryout in Feb but it was a no go. My son was too young (14) and more importantly, needs to develop more.

We will of course tryout again in the winter.
Appreciate the input though!

You're in the right spot, imo. It's a process so stick with it and good luck to your son.

Hi, DPElite. You can go to the Perfect Game website, and look at the FL teams listed for the WWBA tourneys. Then google the names - most should have a website. This looks like maybe the right place to start for your son's age:

16U WWBA (East Cobb)

Hope this helps. Good luck!

2Bmom has it right. Check the tournament websites and you can get some great info to get you on your way.

You have a PM.

Go to the USA Baseball site and see what is available to your son for his age.

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

..... 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. Thanks in advance for any input and suggestions

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

Each would be sensitive to your request.

Bear-

I sent you a PM

ditto

Bear,
How would I get in touch with the folks you recommended in your post?

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?
