This year, we will be holding off-site tryouts in southern and northern Minnesota to scout the top players in high school to play for our regionally-based (Twin Cities) teams. Registration and tryout format is the same. Out-state players are welcome to come to our standard workout/tryout but our off-site tryouts are made for those who may not be able to make the drive but are still interested in playing with our Minnesota Blizzard Elite teams. Please check for dates in Duluth, Alexandria and Mankato, Minnesota. See you soon! -Coach Barta!

What to bring ...
Tryouts are a relatively long day so make sure you bring water, snack and sun screen. Please wear a full uniform including spikes 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.

Expect a lot of kids, good competition and a good baseball setting. Each player will run a 60 yard dash (40 yard for 10u-13u), go through defensive work including outfield, infield, catcher pop times, batting practice and bullpens.
After Day 1, we will post call back rosters immediately the same day on our website (www.blizzardelitebaseball.com) and you will return (if need be) to play a scrimmage where pitchers throw a controlled inning against hitters.
