Bio:
I've been coaching PRA Middle School Baseball since 2019, so this is my 5th season, (though the 2020 season was unfortunately canceled). I also coach High School Football at PRA as the head JV Coach and as an assistant coach (RBs, DBs, and Strength). I've been a Fitness and Strength coach since 2013. I played baseball my entire childhood until my junior year of high school where I instead switched to track and field. From there I was on the track team in college at CU as walk-on sprinter from 2002 to 2005. I am a PRA parent as well, and have 6 kids currently at the school.

ALL ATHLETES MUST ATTEND ALL TRYOUTS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TEAM!
I will post information on the team page under "Announcements" if we have to change location due to inclement weather.
Monday, 2/27 - Aspen Creek PK-8 School (5:00pm to 6:30pm)
Tuesday, 2/28 - Aspen Creek PK-8 School (5:00pm to 6:30pm)
Wednesday, 3/1 - TBD
Tryouts start on 02/27/2023. They will be at Aspen Creek starting at 5:00pm. I will be at PRA coaching track (sprinters) and then will leave that early to be at the field around 5:00pm. This will be the plan for the year. I'd like the boys and girls to be at the field around 4:50pm so they can get started with warming up. Then we can get going right at 5:00pm for tryouts.
We may do some assessments on Wednesday at PRA, but it is unlikely due to the parent meeting. For now we will likely only have 2 days for tryouts. That means we cannot have many delays if we want to get through everything. Especially with limited light.
It is Chad and I's hope to keep everyone and develop everyone's skills no matter what level, but that depends on how many try out for the team. We can only keep around 26-30 kids and make the season work. Our plan is around 15 kids for A team to go and and compete hard, and 12-15 for B team to develop. Last year we were able to play B games of around 2-3 innings just about every week. It is my hope to be able to do that again year.
As for tryouts we will be very transparent. We are doing a number of tests and will objectively grade everyone on those tests. It will be a point system based on the ranking of each athlete's performance during each test. Those with the highest finish in each task will receive the most points. At the end, those that have the 15 highest total points at the end will be on A team. The next 12-15 will be on B team. Everyone else after that will unfortunately not be able to be on the team. The tests are listed below:
Shortened Tryouts with no Wednesday:
Monday 2/27:

Sprint (For Time)

If you're interested in playing a college sport, at the 8th grade level is the perfect time to start having those discussions with your parents and discussing what division you'd like to play for? There is a lot of research that you can do to find out exactly what is needed and when if you're looking to be a collegiate athlete.
One common myth is that you need to go to a big school to be recognized. There are many things that college recruiters look at. Listed below are a few of the things they are looking for:
-Leadership/Interviews with teachers/Coaches. An athlete that can help build a sustainable winning culture. A student athlete that can be a great classmate.
-Character Development. More and more they aren't just looking for someone who can put up points, but someone who's a good person and well rounded.
-Multi Sport athlete- building of alternative skill sets, often more athletic avoids injury and burn out.
NCAA Eligibility Center: Here you can create a profile. It's a great time to start collecting information, video and building authentic accolades.
