We are looking for a few players for our 16u team for 2027. This is a very talented returning team. We did not hold a formal tryout because we are only looking for a few players. It's an open competition for each starting position. We could specifically use a catcher and a middle of the order bat. PM us to schedule a private tryout or text (330) 714-0252.

Tuition includes:
Winter workouts by professional trainer
24/7 Membership to our academy in North Canton
Non-dad Veteran head coach (HOF Inductee)
Tournament only team with weekday practices
We will play in at least two showcase tournaments
We offer college recruiting coaching

The head coach is a former D1 player and Greater Akron Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee who will teach players the finer strategies and tactics of the game. Learn how to win the mental game.
