A parent is required to register the player and sign the participation agreement and release form. It is also an opportunity to learn more about MVP programs that can benefit the player.
A complimentary college seminar provides parents with insights into what college coaches are looking for in a player today and what it takes for a player to compete at the college baseball level. MVP has helped place many players in some of the most prestigious colleges and universities throughout the country, with some receiving substantial scholarships.
