Be the Standout at Baseball & Softball Evaluations
Middle school tryouts are the first major "cut" in a young athlete’s career. Don’t let your child walk onto the field unprepared. The R3 Middle School Tryout Prep Clinic is a high-intensity, 3-week program designed specifically for 7th and 8th-grade athletes who want to sharpen their skills, increase their conditioning, and grab the attention of their coaches.
We focus on the "Measurables" and the "Mentals" that middle school coaches look for during evaluations.
The R3 Competitive Edge
This isn't just a skills clinic; it’s a tryout simulation. We push athletes to perform under pressure while refining the advanced techniques required at the middle school level.
-
High-Level Mechanics: Advanced hitting approach, situational fielding, and position-specific footwork.
-
Tryout Conditioning: We get athletes "in shape" with sport-specific speed, agility, and explosive movements so they don't tire out during Day 2 of tryouts.
-
The "Mental Game": We coach athletes on how to carry themselves on the field, how to communicate, and how to bounce back from errors—traits every coach values.
-
Measurable Improvement: Focus on exit velocity, throwing accuracy, and home-to-first base times.
4-Week "Make the Team" Roadmap
