10U & 12U Offseason Development
Mission offers the best training program in the state to our year-round teams and we extend this training and coaching staff to players who want to raise their game over the late-Fall and Winter and return stronger to their local teams in the Spring.
Tryouts will be held Tuesday, Aug 5 at 5:30 at Pamela Park.
Additional details will be shared soon.
About Tryouts
We will have two locations for tryouts. 11u-14u will be held at Pamela Park in Edina and 16u-18u will be held at Van Valkenberg Park in Edina.
We hold multiple tryouts on Monday throughout the day - but we highly recommend that if Mission is your first choice that you attend our morning session. We expect to offer at least half of our available spots in the morning session and it could be more depending on the team.
Our goal is to make the tryout process friendly, as stress-free as possible (going to be some stress!), and respectfully. You can expect to get all of your questions answered prior to tryouts by emailing info@missionfastpitch.com or speaking to one of our parent hosts when you check-in. We’ll take all the time you need and tell you about our program.
Tryout day is hard, if you do need to arrive late or leave early, we understand - just communicate with us by email ahead of time or at check-in.
Tryout Schedule
Pitchers can come ANYTIME, be evaluated as a pitcher and leave - but we prefer you come early in the day.
Pitchers and catchers should come 1 hour before tryout time, unless they have setup a custom tryout time.
16U & 18U times: 8:15-10:45am, Noon-2:30 & 4-5pm
13U & 14U times: 8:35-11:05am, 12:30-3:00pm, & 4:30-7pm
11U & 12U times: 9-11:30am, 1:00-3:30pm, & 5:30-7:30pm
10U & 12U offseason teams: 5:30pm on TUESDAY the 5th!
Cost
Pricing for each team will be defined and posted here prior to tryouts. In 2024-25 our pricing was $3,950 for National teams and $3,650 for 12u, 11u and gold teams. We expect prices will increase slightly as we add more to our program. Scholarships are available.
