Top players selected for MVP national teams
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.
Following the showcase, parents must call the MVP office for an in-depth discussion of their player’s skills, past experience and baseball goals. At that time, parents are informed if the player has qualified for a nationally-ranked MVP team to compete in the country’s top collegeexposure showcase tournaments, such as:
National tournaments offer an unparalleled opportunity for players to receive top-level training and development by former MLB players and scouts. The MVP program is more than just a tournament -- if selected, MVP will profoundly elevate your game and better prepare you for college baseball.
Every player who joins a MVP team must be 100% dedicated to attending the event. MVP teams are formed by commitment from both players and parents. Event fee does not include travel expenses or uniform. MVP is not responsible for game cancellations due to inclement weather, and refunds are not allowed.
