The cost per student-athlete is $40.00, payable to the VBCA.  Student-athletes can contact their coach for more information and for registration forms. Have players dressed- baseball gear- and ready to play. T-shirts and batting helmets will be provided. Also any catchers need to bring their gear and all student-athletes should bring a water bottle.

The deadline for registration is June 17, 2019. Please, no walk-in registrations, We need the forms in advance to provide a roster for college coaches in attendance.

The seventh annual VBCA Showcase was held in June 2018. Fifty underclass student-athletes displayed their skills in front of coaches from collegiate baseball programs at all levels from throughout the Northeast. Nearly 70 players from Vermont high school programs were on collegiate rosters in the 2019 season: http://www.vermontbaseball.org/2019/05/nearly-70-former-vermont-high-school.html

The showcase will be administered by VBCA member coaches. Please contact Bruce Bosley (bbosley.vbca@gmail.com) to volunteer. We need additional volunteers this year to record throwing velocity of all infielders, outfielders and catchers.
