Below you will find useful links along with a time line of what to expect starting next Monday.

If playing at BU, 90 minutes prior. If you go directly to your field we will not have your jersey/hat.
Player Check In: All position players will check in at the tent between the main baseball field and the Binghamton University Soccer Complex (behind the RF bullpen). All check in times are slotted 45 minutes prior to the defensive workout (link above). T-shirt and hat will be assigned, all players receive a head shot there.

Day 1 Order:
- Check in/Head Shot/Stretch/Throw
- Full Defensive workout at Soccer Complex (Turf). Video, measurable stats will all be taken here. Walk to main field after workout.
- Brief 5 minute defensive workout on main field (Team 1, then Team 2)
- When Team 1 finishes defense, flips in the cage. Then Team 2. This will continue through team 16. (follow the schedule online) ** We added this in as an EXTRA quick opportunity for colleges to see some fast defense without having to move back and forth from the AUX field and main field **
- Batting Practice rounds (Team 1, then Team 2). Both teams stay to complete shagging.
- Travel to Union-Endicott HS - Football Field (Clubhouse Rd, Endicott, NY)
- First team to arrive will get their Exit Velocities and then run 60, 2nd team to arrive will run 60's first. We are not able to run 60's on a NCAA D1 Campus, thus the reason for traveling off-site.
NOTE: Metal spikes are allowed at BU Soccer Complex and BU Baseball Field, rubber spikes or turfs at Union-Endicott Football Field. ** Bring sneakers in case **
Pitchers: Please come fully rested, that should go without saying. Throwing extensively on Saturday and Sunday prior will generally effect your performance on Tuesday or Wednesday. We don't RETRACT numbers, we report them.
Uniforms: We provide one Shirt and Hat, everyone please wear WHITE pants and a BLACK/DARK belt (Let's look professional in front of these coaches and pro scouts)
Game Rules: These games are very scripted by us based on a committee we formed over the years, made up of college coaches and our staff.
