Baseball Player Connect makes it easier for youth baseball coaches to fill open roster spots and for players to find opportunities to play. When a team needs an extra player, coaches can post an upcoming game, specify the age range and positions needed, and search for available players nearby. Players can maintain their baseball profile, enter when they're available, discover open games, and connect with coaches looking for help. FOR COACHES • Create teams and manage upcoming games • Post open roster spots • Specify player age ranges and positions needed • Search for available players nearby • Filter player searches by age, position, availability, organization, and distance • Invite players to upcoming games • Review and respond to player requests • Keep track of confirmed players and remaining roster spots • Communicate directly with players and families FOR PLAYERS & FAMILIES • Create and manage player profiles • Add baseball organizations, teams, and positions • Set dates when players are available • Discover nearby games with open roster spots • Request opportunities to play • Receive and respond to coach invitations • Keep track of scheduled games and pending requests • Communicate with coaches • Manage multiple players from one account BUILT FOR REAL BASEBALL SCHEDULES Baseball schedules change.
