What to Expect and Tryout Details

Age Level

In the summer, our high school teams are put together by graduation year which would include: 2026, 2027 and 2028 graduates for our HS age levels.  Our youth program are based on age level.

Age cut-off is April 30th (or whatever your age is on April 30th) For example, if you are 14 years old right now and your birthday is March 3rd, you are considered a 15u because you turn 15 before April 30th.

What to bring ...

Tryouts are a relatively long day so make sure you bring water and snack.  Please wear a full uniform and glove.  Each player will receive a hat at the tryout.  If you have your own bat, bring it otherwise we will have some there for you to borrow.  If tryouts are outside, please wear spikes.  If they are indoors, please wear turf shoes.

What to expect ...

Expect a lot of kids, good competition and a good baseball setting.  Each player go through defensive work including outfield, infield, catcher pop times, batting practice and bullpens.

Players who cannot make tryouts or who have to leave early ...

If you are a player who cannot make a tryout, you should come to the next closest age group to be graded out.  Please email me at: abarta@minnesotabaseballacademy.com with your situation and I'll make it work.
