15u East Side Knights will now be Team Georgia XL. We are a professionally coached 4th year travel team that will be holding open no fee tryouts for the Fall/Spring 2020-21 season.
We are looking for position players that can pitch as well as “pitchers only/mostly” where applicable. Regardless of a player’s role on the team we will work with all players on positional development in practice. We are looking for players and parents that will fit into a team first culture where we enjoy having fun and working hard to improve. Players are expected to be committed to putting in the effort on their own for the development of themselves. The program and player development will rival any major academy. Our facilities are top notch and we have access to an indoor facility.
All players will be evaluated for general baseball skills including hitting, throwing, fielding, and running. Players desiring to play as a pitcher or catcher will be evaluated for these skills. We will also be observing for effort and attitude.
Team GAXL will play in the highest-level tournaments we can play like Perfect Game/PBR. We believe in pushing our players to ensure maximum development.
