The Level Up program was created for players who are looking for challenges beyond recreational baseball but are not yet ready for the time commitment, cost, or rigors of a travel AA, AAA or Major's select baseball team. This program is a great introduction to select baseball and tournament play. Successful athletes in Level Up often advance to our Prime select travel baseball program.
