Tier 1 Elite Baseball

08/29/2026

Thank you to all of the players and families who came out for tryouts. We appreciate the time, effort, and trust you put into being there.

If tryout season didn’t shake out the way you expected and you’re still looking for the right fit, we may be looking for you, too. Reach out—we’d be happy to talk.

We’re excited about the direction Tier 1 is headed and everything ahead for the program. Follow along as we continue to build and share what’s next.

We love baseball. But for us, this has always been about more than the game.

Yes, we want to build better baseball players. We also want to help build better people. Young men who show up, work hard, support their teammates and carry those lessons beyond the field.

A few 11U–18U roster spots remain. Request a private tryout at Tier1Elite.com and come see what makes Tier 1 different.

We can’t wait to meet your family!

🚨 TRYOUTS ARE COMING SOON🚨

We’re looking for ballplayers who love the game, show up ready to work, and want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

If you’re tired of daddy ball, politics, and all the other BS that comes with travel baseball, come check us out.

At Tier 1, playing time isn’t given… it’s earned.

⚾ 14-18U Tryouts
📅 July 13, 15, 20 & 22

⚾ 11-13U
Private tryouts are being coordinated now.

We’re building this program the right way from the ground up. Good kids. Great families. Players that are coachable, hardworking, and team-first.

Baseball parents — this one's for you. ⚾

Develop the athlete. Build the leader.

You want more for your son than just a roster spot. At Tier 1 Elite Baseball, that's exactly what they're built for.

Led by Gio Calabrese, Tier 1 combines elite-level coaching, intentional mentorship, and a player-first culture to develop disciplined athletes, confident leaders, and honorable young men — on and off the field. They're redefining what travel baseball can be: a standard for development, leadership, and character.

Most travel programs measure success by wins, exposure, and roster size. Tier 1 measures it differently. The program is built around long-term player development, accountability-driven training, and the kind of intentional coaching that prepares athletes for the next level — whatever that level looks like for your son.

Their culture is competitive but supportive. Tier 1 pairs elite instruction with mentorship that pushes players to grow as teammates, leaders, and active members of their community. Tier 1 athletes don't just play harder — they show up differently, for each other and for the people who support them.

Tier 1 is also proud to partner with Big Hearts Fox Valley, supporting their mission right alongside its own — because building good men means showing up for the community too.

If you're looking for a program that develops the whole young man, not just the ballplayer, this is worth a look.
