What is the National Team Program?
Team Details
What age groups?
We have fielded teams from 11U-17U.
Roster Breakdown
Playing time is distributed equally with each roster consisting of 11 position players and pitcher only's.
How the Roster is Chosen
The player must be an official Tigers player to submit an application. After completing the application process for the National Team, the National Team selection committee reviews applications.
Event Details
National Events
We look to send our national teams to national events. For the high school age groups we look to find events that will help players be seen and get recruited. At the youth level we look for the highest comeptition possible.
Why These Events?
Highly Recruited Event
We strategically look for locations that are highly desirable for scouts to recruit. We also search for events that will draw online attention. This is a combination of location and competition.
Competition
Top players in one location. We're wanting our Tigers to be tested at the highest level.
