It's been either tense and/or quiet in here, so I thought I'd ask this to break the silence.
I thought I read somewhere, that there were showcases for the younger age groups. I couldn't find any on PG. Anyone know of any reputable organizations that put them on for youth?
We're not getting much feedback from the RC's and HC's we've sent his videos out to, so we just want a better way to get him on some college's radars.
Thanks for any direction. |

| I hope this is a joke?? For a fourth grader? My 2022 son played in a showcase a few weeks ago, but it was just for funzies, no thought of college coaches. |

I've been thinking about opening up a business that can gauge MLB potential in 6u kids, it's just never too early to start!
Do you think I have a million dollar idea? |

I think you are missing a few steps but you are close.
1) The "business" would need to include the word Academy. People go ape nuts over an Academy.
2) The ranking would need to be tied to private lessons. "We have identified a solid skillset in your tball player. We believe he/she has what it takes to play at a higher level with a little help. At Rolaids Academy, private lessons from our instructors are guaranteed to provide him/her with the guidance they need to maximize their potential."
3) The Academy would need stock in radar guns. People go ape nuts over radar guns.
What if we go in as partners? |

Yes, but if Rippit has a 6 YO, you'd best deliver the goods!   |

6u is too young. But the million dollar market is there for rising 9u. They are projectable at that age. If you get started now, you too can build a database of every eventually player drafted/committed in 10 years and tout how your wonderful $howcase service provided the initial means of expo$ure to over 99% of high level players.
Remember price is everything. Don't worry about value. The higher the price infers higher eliteness to your product value offered and thus attendance gives off vibes of eliteness and specialness to your target audience. Market market market because the everyday middle of the road player is your cash cow. Without their dollar participation the model won't work. You must market to their hopes and dreams of eliteness, and create actionable fears of being left behind if they don't make the connections and exposure that only you and your $ervice can provide! |

Thank you all for your help, I've decided on a name for my million dollar idea! I think I will call it:
"Super Concentrated Alite Machine Academy" Now many of you may be thinking I spelled Elite wrong, but I think misspellings actually draw attention to names.
If you don't believe how good we are just ask our star pupil from 2014, he is now on the best team in Atlanta and looking forward to kid pitch next year! Spaces are limited! Call now! |
