High School Fall Select

14U/8th Grade Slammers HS Fall Select

Many have asked what the next steps for 14U/8th grade players for this summer and next fall are. This summer ALL players will still play on their current Slammers teams, but for this coming fall for ALL 2028 Grads, we will have a workout/tryout on May 16, 2024, to evaluate players to make the HS Fall Select Team.

This is for current 2028 Grad class (14U) or 8th graders in and out of the Slammers Program. This workout will help us evaluate the 2028 Grad Class players to put them on a HS Fall Select team. All players who want to play in the fall and even those that are not going to play this fall due to football or some other sport, but want to play the following summer, should attend this workout/tryout.

Also, we understand that many 8th graders are already getting emails or contacted by their prospective High school coaches. The question is, do you have to play this summer for them….NO. Do you have to play this fall for them….NO. Each one of the high schools will have winter workouts in 2024 and tryouts to formulate their spring teams for 2024. Thais when you need to make sure your are all in with them and attending those winter workouts.

Now, If you feel you want to play for them in the fall, we get it. We will see you in the future when you decide to come back to Slammers. But, under no circumstances do you leave your 14U Slammers team in a lurch this summer. That is the quickest way to not have a spot here in the future. Enter the right way, and always leave the right way and you will always have a spot here at Slammers.

So, while we cannot guarantee that ALL current Slammers players make a team, we can tell you that this is our goal, and we have only had one year where we had a few kids that we could not place on a team.
