Does the Badgers season interfere with the high school season?

No. We run Winter workouts in January and February to prepare them for their high school tryouts/seasons. Once their high school seasons begin their main obligation is to their high school team until their season is over. We pick back up with practices and scrimmages at the end of May and begin tournaments/showcases in June.

Do the Badgers practice during the week?

Yes. We hold two practices per week between tournaments/showcases. We believe the only way to develop players is to get on the field, practice and work on things.

How do I tryout?

We host tryouts several times throughout the year for our Spring, Summer and Fall teams. Check the website frequently for dates and locations. If you would like to set up a private tryout or cannot make the tryout date you can email [email protected] or fill out a player questionnaire here Badgers Players Questionnaire

What do the fees cover?

The fees cover indoor Winter workouts, all tournament fees, all practice field fees, weekly practices, indoor facility use in and out of season, professional coaching, equipment, insurance and administrative work. Fees vary from team to team based on the number of tournaments/showcases, level of tournaments/showcases and costs of each event. Events tend to get more expensive as players get older.

Are deposits refundable?

No. Once you send in your deposit that is your commitment to playing with the Badgers. We use the deposit money to start paying tournament deposits, uniforms and other up-front costs associated with running a team. If you pay a deposit and choose to play for another program or quit, you will not receive a refund on your deposit. Make sure this is the program for you and your family BEFORE you commit.

How is college recruiting handled?

The tournaments/showcases are heavily attended by college coaches which allows for recruiting opportunities every weekend. We have hundreds of collegiate and professional contacts that we have long standing relationships with. Once a player has proven they can play at the collegiate level we will reach out to coaches and be their biggest supporters. We do not charge a recruiting fee.

What is the policy on playing time?

We believe that the only way to truly develop players is to not only provide them with great instruction, but also in game experience. We make it a point to get everyone in throughout the tournament/showcase, but the better players will play more than the weaker players. This rewards the more advanced players for their hard work and success and gives the less advanced players some motivation to continue to work hard and try to earn playing time.

What are the backgrounds/experience of the coaching staff?

All of our head coaches are former college, Minor League or Major League players and have extensive backgrounds in both coaching and private instruction. We have many roving instructors who help at practices throughout the year who are all former MLB players.

Do the Badgers players get to use the indoor facility?

Yes. We use the indoor facilities for Winter workouts, when outdoor practice gets canceled due to weather and we have several open facility hours per month for Badgers players to come in and workout at no additional fee.

What separates the Badgers from other programs?

We have former college and professional players as coaches, multiple indoor facilities to train at, practice between tournaments/games, medical partnerships to keep our players strong and healthy, over 180 players have been placed in college through our program, 8 in professional baseball, legitimate college and professional contacts, we are honest in our evaluations (Both good and bad) and all of our coaches are fully invested in the players and their families.
