Tryout Structure

Day 1 – Off-field Evaluations:
Each player must attend one of the two available evaluation sessions (details available through the tryout registration link). These sessions will take approximately 30 minutes per athlete.
** This is a new addition to our tryout format, which will help coaches minimize duplication of measurable skills during the on-field evaluations, such as capturing players' sprint speed, exit velocity, bat speed, arm strength and other related measurables. 

Days 2–3 – On-field Tryouts:

• Players are expected to attend all sessions until they are either offered a roster spot or released.
  

  Key points:

  • The 3-digit codes provided in-person at pre-tryout evaluations are not required after the evaluations. 
  • Coaches will be reaching out to tryout participants prior to your first on-field tryout.
  • All tryout registrants must attend day 1 of the on-field tryouts.
    • Dates, times and locations are listed per age group in the Tryouts section on the GMBA website (see link above). 
  • Tryout registrants must refer to the unique 5-digit codes provided in the pre-tryout confirmation email for the following steps of tryouts.
    • This email was sent by [email protected]

  •  After day 1 of the on-field tryouts, the unique 5-digit code received in pre-tryout evaluation emails will be used and posted on our website to communicate who is invited back to the subsequent tryouts.

  
  
  Days 4-6 (if needed) – On-field Tryouts:

Players are expected to attend all sessions until they are either offered a roster spot or released.
