BlueMagic 2 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 Any advice/tips on trying out for college associations? I think I’m ready, but I’m still nervous. What are the biggest things they look for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin_K 647 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 Don't suck? And I would suggest making some phone calls to those who matter prior to just showing up at a tryout. Letting someone know who you are and perhaps having others who will vouch for your abilities on and off the field will be very beneficial to your prospects rather than just walking in off the street.

JSam21 243 Report post Posted September 11, 2018 My advice? Work your game. Don't try to do anything different than what you normally do. If they give you a tip in your evaluation, then change that. But don't try to change your strike zone. If it is a conference that runs 3-man, learn your 3-man mechanics before you go to the camp. Hustle everywhere you go. Make absolutely sure that your uniforms are in shape and if they are not, order new ones now. Make sure your shoes are clean and polished and your hats are clean.

I have been in the group for 2 years. Good luck and don't suck. It is a great group to be a part of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on the west coast and to me, it feels like UCU has the entire eastern seaboard covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
