Bridging the Gap from High School to College - college consultations
100% of our Blizzard Elite players have gone on to play college baseball since our first graduating class of 2008. Not only does the Blizzard create opportunities for the best players in the state to play with each other, it also gives parents and players a great resource for the best recruitment, consultations and advising around.
Our one on one work with players and parents from the time they are in the program until graduation is non-stop. Whether it be a cover letter, recruiting video, making phone calls, giving advice or just listening to our players, the recruiting piece is one that is incredibly valuable and available for our players as a part of the program!
Our tryouts begin at the end of June. I would like to see you there to see if you have what it takes to play with the Minnesota Blizzard baseball program!
Play with the best in the state against the best in the country. Blizzard Baseball.
