Here are some FAQ's:
1. Can anyone sign up? YES, anyone can sign up!
2. How are teams formed? Once we get all the players registered, we will divide the players into teams with each team having an equal number of pitchers & catchers.
3. Can I request to be on a team with a friend/teammate of mine? Sure but understand we CANNOT guarantee this due to number of players in a particular age division and positions!
4. What happens if we have bad weather or we can't attend? IF we have to reschedule the event, we will offer a FULL credit for each player to attend a future Grand Slam Future Prospects Games event. If you are unable to attend and pre-pay, we will offer you a full credit to a future Grand Slam Future Prospects event as this is a no refund event due to upfront costs of jerseys, hats, baseballs, insurance, field rentals, umpires, special guests, rooms, etc...
5. What age division do I sign my player up for? You will sign up in the age division that your player is for the 2024/2025 season.
6. What if my son's age division does not make? The short answer is I don't anticipate that happening BUT if it does, we will combine the 7's with the 8's; 9's with the 10's, 11's with the 12's and 14's with the 15's. The 13U 54/80 will be separate and 13U 60/90 players will be able to play up in the 14U division if necessary
7. Can all of my players on our travel team be placed on the same team for this event? If requested we will attempt to honor your request, however, we also want these players to be paired with players from other parts of the Country in this Spring Training type of event which I think will be fun for everyone
8. Will there be brackets, champions or awards? NO! This is NOT a typical tournament where you are playing for points or championships. This event is intended to be a totally different experience for your player than the normal weekend tournament. We want to expose these players to other players their same age from other parts of the Country. We also want them to get instruction from the former Collegiate and/or Professional players and coaches who will be coaching each team. Finally, we want this event to be a measuring stick for where your player is at this point in his baseball career and leave knowing what to work on to get better as well as having a great experience like no other!
