Questions
Everything families ask most — tryouts, how to earn a spot, the fee, and the 2027 event.
Do players compete on state teams?
No. The All American Games is an individual-player event. Athletes earn their spot one at a time, then are placed on All American Games rosters built from the national pool. Your teammates will come from all over the country, not just your region.
How do I earn a spot?
Attend a tryout. Tryouts are open to every player — no nomination needed — and are held nationwide for ages 8U–14U. You'll be evaluated on athletic testing, position-specific drills and hitting. We contact every family afterward, whether your player is selected or not. Find a tryout →
What's included in the $550 fee?
Everything: the 5-Game Guarantee, two custom jerseys, official hat, championship ring, custom sunglasses, personalized trading cards (18-pack), bat bag, and premier complex play. Your $150 tryout fee is credited toward it, so selected athletes owe a $400 balance.
When and where is the 2027 event?
DATES TBD, at the USSSA Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida. Three nearby airports (MLB, MCO, DAB) make travel straightforward from anywhere in the country.
Are trading cards really included?
Yes — every registered player receives a free 18-pack of personalized trading cards with their photo and stats. The trading-card photo deadline is June 30.
What does a tryout cost?
$150. If your athlete is selected and accepts their invitation, that $150 is credited toward the $550 event fee — it is not an extra charge on top.
Can coaches apply?
Yes. We accept coach applications throughout the year — submit your request via the Coach Application page.
