Tryout Itinerary

TRYOUT EVENT INFO

Event Date: April 4th, 2025

Check-in Time: 5pm – 6pm

Event Time: 6pm – 10pm

Each tryout will look slightly different due to the location of the event (indoor/outdoor), however we will test the same metrics and skills sets at each tryout. Included below are the steps of the tryout:

  • Have your picture taken in your All American shirt (which will be provided at check in) with your evaluation number attached to front of your shirt.
  • Participants will warm up in a designated area before the tryout starts
  • Participants will meet in center-field or a designated spot for a debriefing of the Showcase as well as a group tryout picture taken.
  • Participants will break off to their assigned fields by age group after the debriefing.

Testing Stations:

  • Metrics (5X10X5, 20 yard, Overhand Velocity, Hit Exit Speed)
  • Position Specific (players are able to get scored on a primary and secondary position ONLY) Pitchers and catchers will be the last testing stations. They will be given adequate time to warm up before their scores are taken. Pitchers will throw to the catchers attending the tryout. Both pitchers and catchers will be scored at the same time. Catchers will also get their pop-time taken at this time.
  • Hitting (this will consist of hitting on the field with live front toss)

Please DO NOT leave this event until all these stages of the tryout has been completed!

About the All American Program

The USSSA All American Program was created in 2015 to increase individual opportunities for fastpitch players to showcase their skills and represent their Region in a National event.

Athletes ages 9 to 14 will be selected based on their evaluation scores to represent their Region in the All American Games hosted annually at USSSA Space Coast Complex in Viera, FL.

July 28th through August 2nd

Each player will individually represent her region by wearing her hometown regional jersey however we will have all regions represented on each team. All players within an age division will be pooled together, from there teams will be created equalizing teams based on player scores.
