Not sure if people realize it, but when putting teams together a big thing that comes into play is parent behavior. One bad apple can prevent a player from earning a spot. One parent issue can cause 3-4 kids to leave the team the following year. It’s a big part of what we look at
It’s official-Elite has partnered with the Cubs to become the official Cubs Scout Team for fall. Jerseys came in today and they are looking sharp. We are ready for the

With fall ball winding down it’s important you have a shut down period. Take care of that arm and use the time to build strength and work on the mental game. Make off-season goals based on your weaknesses and go crush it.

Velo is cool but man, you’d better spend some time working on commanding multiple pitches, holding runners, the mental game, otherwise the next level is going to be a rude awakening. So much obsession with ONLY velo:hitters too. Way too many showcase players/not many in game guys
37-8 on the year, playing top competition, 12u Gabbard has been the place everyone wants to be. We are not just building high level teams here at Elite, but forging lifelong bonds they will never be forgotten.

Tons of great options that aren’t at the D1 level. In fact-many lower division schools will beat bigger programs. With covid still affecting recruiting classes for another year/2, it’s important to look into all options. It’s not D1 or bust-it’s about the best fit for your goals

@elite_baseball
It’s important to pick a school based on your likes and needs. Not the biggest name. You may get a low $$ scholarship to a bigger school, but is it worth sitting for two years? Or order to make a game plan you need to figure out what is important to you.
Growing close to this group over the past few years has been such a blessing. What an amazing group of parents, coaches and players. We feel so lucky to be a part of it. You will always be family.
It all started w/ a coach that loved the game. It’s a special group of young men that will be connected beyond this last Summer Season Game. All have Bright Futures!

Getting recruited isn’t easy. Even very good D1 prospects have to put in a ton of work. Video, following up with coaches, not quitting when you don’t get responses, there’s a ton that goes into it. Hands down, the most successful players have a targeted approach they stick with.

16u Kennon finishes up the fall going undefeated on the way to the PBR Fall Championship scoring avg of 9 runs a game and giving up avg of 1.75 runs a game. Great weekend!
One very important thing, whether it’s our 11u or 17u team, is to allow our players to make mistakes. We encourage them to play aggressively and take chances. Our coaching staff will guide and teach you after.If you always play it safe you’ll never find out what you’re capable of
Times like these will absolutely separate the players who want it from those who don’t. It’s easy to give up and complain about the negative, be inactive. It’s also easy to get passed up by those who are optimistic and see the glass half full.
Another big win for
