Looking Ahead
Changes Coming for the 2027 Baseball Season
While the 2026 baseball season is just getting underway, we are already looking ahead to 2027. To better serve our athletes and families, we are moving the registration and tryout window for the 2027 season to the fall of 2026.
This shift will allow for earlier tournament registration and eliminate the high costs of renting indoor winter facilities. Most importantly, we believe evaluating players immediately following a season—while they are in peak form—will lead to a more positive tryout experience. We will share more details soon, but we wanted to provide ample notice of this upcoming change.
