Your team will have a scheduled practice, evaluation, and scrimmage game on Day 1 and/or Day 2 of the event, which will be built into your bracket. There are no practices before the tournament, so your main commitments will be the tryout date and the event week, July 21–27, in Florida. We aim to schedule departures as early as possible on July 27, but weather conditions—common in Florida during the summer—may affect the schedule, potentially resulting in later game times. Your team’s playtime will also depend on its progress in the bracket.

This event follows a 5GG format, ensuring a baseball focused week while allowing time to enjoy vacation activities at the Space Coast. Expect longer days at the park on Days 1 and 2, with a lighter schedule as the week progresses.

The All American Games is not a stay to play. You may book where you prefer.

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. Each athlete will represent their region—South, Southeast, West, Midwest, or Northeast—competing alongside top talent from their area in a high-level environment.

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.

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 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.

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.

Tryout Leaderboard 

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.

Scouts from USSSA All American were present at a recent tournament where your athlete participated. After assessing the performance in hitting, fielding, and throwing, they believe your athlete meets the stringent criteria to participate in the upcoming All-American Games scheduled for this summer at Space Coast Stadium.
