Thinking College Baseball ...

If you are interested in playing at the next level, please take a look at the post from last season (9/1/10 -- "The Next Level") on this subject. There's a lot of great info there.

We've got a number of our former United players playing college baseball at present, and we are excited for them. The good news is that this is certainly doable for a homeschool baseball player. Still, it requires effort and personal involvement by the player and family. If you expect the coaches to just come calling or show up to see you play because you are a good player, guess again.

The fall semester is a great time to make contact with those colleges where you might be interested in attending and also playing baseball. During the fall, college teams are working out but without game pressure. Things slow down, and they are thinking about the next season ... and also recruiting. I would encourage you seniors to be making strategic college visits now and also to be asking to work out for/practice with the team when you go. Juniors, you can do this, as well. But for seniors, this time is really important.

If you want more information on demystifying the journey to college baseball, please feel free to shoot me an email or call me at 281-413-5418.
