**PLEASE be sure to complete on the registration form a valid e-mail address that is checked regularly. Your confirmation letter will be sent to the e-mail address you put on your registration form.**
What is the "waiting list'?
All positions have a predetermined number of players placed on the roster for each showcase. If your primary position is full when you send your registration form you are placed on the waiting list in your primary position (in the order that all registrations are received). When/if cancellations happen the player at the top of the waiting list in that position is given the opportunity to attend. If you are on the waiting list you should not plan to attend unless you have gotten a phone call that there has been a cancellation and you have been confirmed that you are on the roster.
Players being placed on the waiting list will be notified by letter via usps or e-mail. If you are placed on the waiting list you typically have 3 options: #1. stay on the waiting list and wait for cancellations / transfers to come in and if a spot comes available for you you can be added to the roster #2. attend in your secondary position if your secondary position has room, or #3. transfer your registration to a later showcase date that has space available in your primary position.
In order to be placed on the waiting list a player must complete the registration form and submit with full payment. The payment is held until the player gets moved onto the roster OR until the Friday before the showcase the player does not make the roster. If the player does not make the showcase roster their payment information (check or credit card info.) is destroyed.
Can I receive/view a list of schools planning to attend?
Yes. One week prior to each showcase a list of coaches attending will be available on this website under the "who's watching" tab. It is updated daily until the showcase event. You can also request a list by e-mailing LuannR36@yahoo.com.
If you have a list of schools that you are especially interested in and want to know if they are planning to attend a showcase prior to the list being available it is in your best interest to contact each program's baseball coaching staff directly via phone, letter or e-mail.
Weekend Schedule: All players will receive a detailed schedule at check in. Small changes could be made (different from what you read below) if necessary.
Check in on Saturday morning starts at 9:30am and finishes at 10:00am. Nobody can check in early so it is not to your advantage to arrive much earlier than 9:30am. Players should be fully dressed when they check in (except cleats) and ready to report directly to the field.
A more detailed schedule is available on the printable registration form.

Saturday's events typically finish up between 4pm - 5pm. Players then have a break to shower, check in to their hotel and have dinner on their own. The 'Reality' Recruiting Forum begins promptly at 8pm. This is for BOTH player and parents. The recruiting forum lasts about 2 hours.
On Sunday all players play in one game. Their game times are posted at check in and also distributed with the weekend schedule the players receive at check in.
Lunch: There is a lunch rotation on the schedule for all teams. The concession stand is equipped to feed the players during their lunch rotation quickly enough that they will be ready to report to their next rotation on time. A showcase special is available for $6 (sandwich, drink, chips).
Cost: $299 per player, per showcase
