2012-2013 Seattle Select Program Overview

Accepting a position with the Seattle Select Baseball Club is a significant commitment for both the player and their family. The player must be willing and able to devote sufficient time to meet all team obligations beginning in November, through the team's last league games and out-of-state tournaments ending in mid-August. This is a 9-10 month commitment for both the player and their family. The player's success will depend on their dedication to the program and the support of their family.
