General Event Information

What is the All American Games program?

The USSSA All American Program was established in 2011 with the aim of providing increased opportunities for baseball players to demonstrate their abilities and represent their region of the country at a national event. The athletes are evaluated by some of the top scouts in baseball. The players are evaluated based on their individual skill level and athleticism.

After the All American scouting, the top athletes will be selected to represent USSSA at the All American Games, which are held annually at the Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida. At the All American Games, the teams will compete against each other in a fun and competitive environment. The ultimate goal of this program is to provide a pathway for individual athletes to be evaluated and earn the opportunity to participate in a national event at the All American Games.

How are teams formed for the event?

All American Teams are formed through a structured selection process that evaluates baseball metrics, tryout performance, and overall athleticism. Players are placed on teams based on skill level, positional needs, and team balance to create a competitive and rewarding experience.

As rosters are built continuously throughout the tryout period, we ask that athletes accept or decline their invitation within 72 hours to secure their spot. Tryouts will conclude in May, at which point all teams will be finalized.

How many players per team?

There will be between 12 to 13 players on a roster to ensure that each team has all positions covered, adequate pitching staff for the duration of the event and in case of players withdrawing late from the event.

When will I know what team my athlete is on?

When all tryouts have concluded, team rosters will be announced.
