Due to heavy rain the last few days, we will be unable to get on the field and will have to cancel today’s tryout. We will see y’all Tuesday at 6pm @ Athens Christian School

Due to Last Night’s tryout being cancelled due to weather, we will be holding an additional tryout on Tuesday, the 25th for those that can’t make this Saturday’s tryout.

New tryout dates are:
Saturday, August 22nd, 11am-1pm @ Athens Christian School
Tuesday, August 25th, 6pm-8pm @ Athens Christian School

Reminder that there is a one time tryout fee of $20, you only need to come to one tryout, and the team will be announced following the conclusion of the last tryout.

PBR Georgia on Twitter “2023 Sam Schofield (Morgan Co.) looked very impressive on the mound for Team Athens. Athletic arm that ran the fastball up to 85, sitting 83-84. Paired the FB with a slurve-type breaking ball at 74-75. Definitely one to keep an eye on. https://t.co/tw3SbAMKq8”

Mmmmmm

We still have a few spots left on our 14U roster if you know anyone looking. We will be offering individual tryouts with our coaching staff immediately for those interested. We plan to play Perfect Game and Prep Baseball Report tournaments this summer and fall. Share please!

Awesome advice, especially the tip about keeping your hands going down the white line. Get on those tees!

The 5 tools of baseball. Speed/quickness, Power, Average, Fielding, Arm Strength. Does your player have all those? Does he or she work on their weaknesses or accept them for what they are? I see a lot of players that have a great bat, but their average suffers because they lack speed as well as fast kids that can’t hit it out of the infield. Do you work on your weaknesses or just accept that you are slower or not as strong? The slowest kid can be faster and quicker. The weakest kid can get stronger. Work on your weaknesses the next few weeks so you can be more of a 5 tool player and help your team win more games. Do some pushups and crunches. Do some shuttle runs. Wear out those bands. What are you doing to better your game at home during the outbreak?
