Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout (Ages 12-14)

The Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout will take place in Strongsville, OH on Sunday, May 20, 2012 at Mills Field. All baseball players ages 12-14 are encouraged to attend. Players are asked to report to the field at noon for registration, and the tryout is scheduled to begin at 1 pm. The registration fee is $99. Please go to http://baseballfactory.com/tryouts to enroll or call us at 800-641-4487 x 101 to speak with a Baseball Factory representative.

This event will focus on providing players with a fun workout during which instruction will be provided and players will learn more about their strengths and areas for improvement. The goal is to provide families with a better understanding of where their child stands nationwide and how their child can continue to develop and find success on the baseball field. During the tryout, players will perform in front of Baseball Factory coaches who will review their speed, pitching, hitting, defense and arm strength. Players will receive a verbal evaluation of their skills over the phone within 72 hours of the tryout. Top players from the tryout may be selected to compete with Baseball Factory and Under Armour at the Baseball Factory Select Training at the All Star Game, the Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City, or the Cape Cod Select Training and Competition. These national team and training events will provide selected players with an unmatched baseball experience to continue their development.

Baseball Factory will also conduct an Interactive Video Program beginning at 9 am on May 20 at Mills Field. In addition to the above tryout benefits, players who attend the morning session will receive a professionally filmed & edited online video showing their performance at the tryout, a detailed written evaluation from our coaches which will include a prescription for future success, and a personal player web page that displays the player’s video footage and evaluation, which can be shared with family, friends and coaches.  Players will also receive corrective videos with instruction on how to continue improving their game.
