Following the launch of our new Performance Pathway (PP), Baseball Victoria is pleased to open tryout registration for Futures U12/U14 East and West.
Tryouts will take place in late January for the 2023 Futures tier, which includes U12 and U14 players who are top performers for their age group at the club, Little League, and Junior League levels.
This Futures tier is open to U12 players (born 2011 and 2012) and U14 players (born 2009 and 2010). This pathway is a step beyond the existing charter program and offers high-performing players the chance to further develop their skills and pursue representative opportunities.
