Mock Tryout Camps

Don't Just Guess What Coaches Want. Know.

January 19th & February 16th

Tryouts can be the most stressful day of the year. The clipboard, the stopwatch, the silence of the evaluators. It’s a pressure cooker. But what if you could take the test before it counts?

This winter, Coach Sammy and Coach Ernie are pulling back the curtain on the evaluation process. With decades of experience running high school and elite travel tryouts, they know exactly what separates a “maybe” from a “yes.”

Join us for two exclusive Mock Tryout Events on MLK Day and Presidents Day. We simulate the pace, the drills, and the pressure of a real evaluation, giving you the reps and the feedback you need to walk into your real tryout with total confidence.

Win the Clipboard

This isn’t a standard skills clinic. It is a simulation of the real thing. There are no cuts here, but the expectations mirror reality. Athletes will run through a pro-style combine, including:

  • Timed Speed & Agility Drills: Learn how to shave seconds off your time and show explosive movement.
  • Defensive Grading: We evaluate footwork, arm strength, and fielding mechanics exactly how a varsity coach does.
  • Hitting Assessment: It’s not just about contact; it’s about approach, balance, and exit velocity.
  • The “Intangibles”: Learn how to move station-to-station like a pro, how to handle a bad rep, and how body language can make or break your evaluation.
