Tryout Fee

• The tryout fee is non-refundable if the athlete is not selected.
• If the athlete is selected to attend the All American Games, the tryout fee will be applied to the tournament fee.
• To cancel your tryout, notify USSSA (not the DBAT Academy) 24 hours prior to your scheduled tryout.

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 from each region will be selected to represent their region at the All American Games, which are held annually at the USSSA Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida. At the Games, the regional 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 staff for the USSSA All American Games tryout will be lead by professionals from the Premier D-BAT Baseball Training Academies, USSSA Scouts, and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator from Major League Baseball, Kevin Barr.

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-average for each metric.   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.

1 to 5 scores are % based on 5 reps for fielding, throwing, and hitting.  The velocities and times are straight-forward.  The current average for each metric for each age group is based on data captured at the events listed on the report.  As more events are completed, you will continue to get updated reports.

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.
