WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This event is open to travel, all-star, and rec baseball players, and is designed to provide an opportunity for players to try out in front of multiple coaches from their age group, demonstrate their skills, and receive an objective evaluation.
Rec and All-Star players: This is a great chance to gauge your readiness if you're interested in travel baseball!
Travel players: Have fun in a great environment with your peers! If you’re looking for a team, we’ll share your information and performance summary with coaches who are looking to fill a roster spot!
All players will receive a performance summary with their speeds and velocities based on their performance at the event.
ABOUT THE EVALUATIONS
Within a week after the event, players and their families, as well as coaches, will receive a detailed breakdown of the player's velocities for throwing and hitting, and their sprint times.
What’s in it for the players:
- Opportunity to prep for the upcoming baseball season and showcase their skills and athleticism in front of coaches from multiple organizations and teams.
- Gain insight into key measurables and understand a benchmark of their development at a point in time that can be used as a reference or baseline for future growth.
What’s in it for the parents:
- If you’re looking for a team, save time and money from not having to attend multiple tryouts or team workouts
- Help your player prepare for the upcoming baseball season
- Access to their player’s performance data, including where he or she falls in the spectrum of their peers, including the following:
- Throwing and Hitting Velocities
- Sprint Speed
- Coaches from multiple local travel teams will be in attendance meaning your player will gain significant exposure from just one workout
- Many of our past attendees reported that they received inquiries or offers from teams as a result of the player’s performance.
- In many cases the parents stated they would not have otherwise known about or tried out for the teams who contacted them.
- Player performance data will be shared with coaches; contact information will be withheld unless parents explicitly approve
- Player rosters are distributed to coaches the night before the event
- Coaches will be able to begin contacting player families through our system as soon as rosters are published
What’s in it for the coaches who attend:
- An opportunity to see players that they otherwise may never get to see
- Even if you have a full roster today, you never know when you may need a fill-in player or new team member. This is your chance to see players in a neutral setting to understand whether they may be a fit for your team now or down the road.
- Be able to speak to parents and communicate the benefits of their programs
- Step back and observe players without having to worry about the administrative and operational aspects of hosting your own tryout
- Access to the detailed breakdown of the performance of each player as determined by expert evaluators
- Option to notify parents of their interest in specific players through our reporting platform
- Player rosters are distributed the night before the event
- Coaches will be able to begin contacting player families through our system as soon as rosters are published
frequently asked questions
This is an opportunity for players to demonstrate and be evaluated on their skills, and gain exposure to coaches of local teams who are looking for players.
The event will have two distinct segments for players:
- Warm-Ups
- Skills Evaluations in Fielding, Hitting, Pitching, and Speed
Depending on the number of players, the event could last 3-4 hours.
- Any and all baseball equipment as if attending a typical team practice, along with water or a sports drink.
- Players should wear baseball pants and turf shoes or sneakers.
- If a player intends to be evaluated as a catcher, he should bring catcher’s equipment
Experts from the Training Legends staff as well as coaches from teams in the player’s age group.
- We will provide updates on this page as teams sign up to attend
- The list is subject to change; many coaches at prior events were walk-ups.
Coaches will be in attendance, but are under no obligation to offer roster spots to the players. Coaches will receive the performance data and can use that along with their own observations to determine whether a particular player will be a potential fit for their team.
- If a coach is interested in your player, you will receive a request from him via email with his contact info, at which point you can decide whether to pursue the opportunity.
- Parent email addresses will be visible to coaches if the parent select the option that they are Looking for a Team at registration.
- All data collected will be used solely for the purposes of player evaluation; information will not be sold under any circumstances.
If the event is cancelled due to weather, families will have the option to attend a later session of the Players Combine.
We will be using EvalGenius. This will allow our evaluators to record their assessments using their mobile devices and the EvalGenius App. This cloud-based solution will greatly reduce the time needed to compile and summarize the event data.
Parents will receive a unique code that will allow them to retrieve their player’s assessment results, make updates to their player’s contact info, or flip a flag to add or remove their player from the coaches’ results view.
- To see how this works for individual player evaluation results, enter the code below at this page: Player Performance Details
- Sample Code: CB00B2445D274B048DD45D04EF8A2462
Coaches will receive a separate unique code that will allow them to retrieve the summarized and individual results from the event, and give them the ability to submit their contact info to parents if there is a player they would like to pursue.
- To see how this works for player evaluation results for a group, enter the code below at this page: Tryout Eval Details Report
- Sample Code: EGX1WTCCXM
Coaches will not see any personal information for players/parents unless the parents elect to share their information when they register.

Coaches
Codes will be provided for use with these pages.
- This is an opportunity to receive a full assessment and the accompanying data, which can be used as benchmark for the player’s growth and development.
- Players in this situation will receive a discounted sign-up fee.
- Our registration form includes the option to suppress your player’s evaluation data; this way coaches will only be contacting players who are looking to join a team.
- We find that youth athletes cherish this as a fun experience share the field with players from teams they may see throughout the season. Players love to compete, and this is an opportunity to do so with the pressure of winning or losing a game.
- Attendance is free for coaches to attend and observe Players Combine events.
- In order to receive the access code for the results (and the ability to reach out to parents of players through the system we are using), coaches need to complete the Training Legends Players Combine Coach Registration form.
