Tryout and Team Commitment
Tryouts are held as part of the pre-season camp, which will begin in
mid January to mid February. As your high school season begins, we
will not see you again until your H.S. season ends. We will begin play
after H.S. play-offs end and run into early August. Plan on games or
practice approximately 5 to 6 times weekly.
TCB has put together a game schedule that is impossible to match.
The schedule combines 55+ games of top quality competition, travel,
and numerous exposure and recruitment possibilities from Division I,
II, and III Universities and Junior Colleges all over the country.

Financial Commitment
The cost of each player is estimated between $2,500 to $2,900.
Actual costs will be final prior to team selections. Players that are
selected have the opportunity to participate in fund raising activities.

Education
Team Connecticut Selects requires excellence on and off the
baseball field.  Players are monitored through the collection of report
cards as they strive to achieve at least a ‘B’ average
