How Do Tryouts Work?

  • When players arrive, they will receive a number that will pin to the back of their shirt.
  • Each family will receive a packet of information about Elevate Northwest and the great things we’re doing in the baseball community!
  • We encourage each family to write their number on their packet materials (or otherwise record it), because those numbers are how we’ll communicate about results.
  • Players will start on our turf field with defense and pitching, and then work their way inside for hitting.
  • At the end of tryouts we will communicate with everyone regarding the process. We may also make offers the day of tryouts, and you’ll be able to join the Elevate family right then and there!
  • You can also go to our FAQ for more information regarding our teams.
