Tryout Information

What is an All American tryout?

The tryout component of the USSSA All American Program is designed to identify the elite baseball players in each age division. All tryouts will provide each athlete with an equal opportunity to showcase their abilities in hitting, throwing, fielding, pitching/catching, and athletic testing. Players will be evaluated at two positions, primary and secondary. The All American Baseball Program will hold tryouts across the country. Athletes will be placed on a team based on their position, classification, ability. Age groups will be determined strictly by the USSSA age calculator. For more information on the age group breakdown, please visit the following link. Age Calculator

 

 

 

Who will run the tryouts?

The staff for the USSSA All American Games tryouts will consist of USSSA Scouts and Kevin Barr a former Strength and Conditioning Coordinator for numerous Major League Baseball teams.

What is the tryout evaluation?

The All American Games Assessment Data is meant to serve as a starting point of player development for each athlete.  If something can be measured, it can be improved.  This information will help provide each athlete, parent, & coach objective data for identifying areas of improvement to target for improvement.

The reports show the current age ranking. Each athlete is in a very different place physically and this information needs to be treated strictly as an individual roadmap to improvement and should NOT be viewed as good or bad.

The velocities and times are straight-forward.  The data for each metric for each age group will be listed in the ranking on the leaderboard.  As more events are completed, the leaderboard will update.

How and when will I know if my athlete has been selected?

Once a tryout is completed, the USSSA National Baseball office will notify selected players within 3-5 days. To ensure proper team formation, we ask that invited players confirm their commitment by registering for the All American Games within 72 hours. Timely registration is crucial, as it allows our scouts to strategically construct balanced rosters based on regional scouting assessments. Delayed commitments can disrupt team formation and may affect the placement options for late registrants.

What if I missed my tryout?

You may move your scheduled tryout to a different location. Please contact the USSSA Baseball office. Refunds will not be issued post tryout date.

Is the tryout fee refundable if my athlete does not accept their invite?

The tryout fee is not refundable. If the athlete accepts their invitation to the All American Games the tryout fee will be applied to the tournament cost.

Tryout cancellations must be made prior to the tryout. USSSA does not honor same-day cancellations for tryouts.
