1. Summer Baseball Meeting. 2016. 8 th – 11 th Graders. January 5, 2016. Room 300.

2. Players that are currently now enrolled as 8 th Graders – 11 th Graders here at SLAM Academy. Summer Baseball. Tournaments, Leagues, Workouts, Rules and Regulations.

3. Any player who wants to play in the Fall of 2016 will need to play and be FULLY committed to playing summer Baseball for their High School Program. Their School Team. ( SLAM ) Any player who wishes to play in the Spring of 2017 or would like to try out in the Spring of 2017 will need to be FULLY committed in playing and participating in the SUMMER Tournaments and the WOROUTS and in the FALL Season along with the practices and following the FALL season, the 6 week THROWING PROGRAM, WEIGHT LIFTING PROGRAM and SPEED & CONDITIONING which will be done here ALL at School. @ SLAM. IF A PLAYER WISHES NOT TO PARTICIPATE OR PLAY FOR SLAM OR THE SCHOOL TEAM IN THE SUMMER, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE GAMES AND WORKOUTS IN THE FALL OF 2016. IF PLAYERS WANT TO PLAY NEXT SPRING OF 2017, THEY WILL NEED TO BE FULLY COMMITTED IN PLAYING FOR SLAM IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 AND IN THE FALL OF 2016 FOR THEIR SCHOOL TEAM. ( SLAM )

4. THIS IS MY RULE. THAT IS THE ONLY RULE THAT WILL APPLY. PLAYERS AND PARENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE DEVISED AND COME UP WITH A COMPLETE YEAR AROUND BASEBALL PROGRAM FOR PLAYERS IN GRADES 8 -12 HERE WHO ARE ENROLLED AT SLAM ACADEMY ONLY. IN THIS BEING MY 2 ND YEAR AS THE HEAD COACH AND THE DIRECTOR OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS, THE GOAL IS TO KEEP EVERY PLAYER AT SLAM TO PLAY TOGETHER YEAR AROUND. I KNOW THAT THERE’S A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS OF PLAYERS GETTING NATIONAL EXPOSURE AND RECEIVING ACCOLADES AND GETTING PLAYER RANKINGS ACCORDING TO THEIR AGES AND THE TOURNAMENTS THAT THEY ATTEND DURING THE SUMMER. LAST SUMMER,IT WAS JUST A TRIAL AND ERROR FOR ME TO SEE WHAT PLAYERS AND PARENTS WOULD DO AND FOR WHAT SUMMER BASEBALL TEAMS AND PROGRAMS THEY WOULD PLAY FOR AND ALSO THE COST THAT THE PLAYERS AND PARENTS WOULD PAY TO PLAY IN THESE TOURNAMENTS. I SPENT LAST SUMMER OBSERVING AS WHAT PLAYERS AND PARENTS WOULD DO AND DID, SO THIS UPCOMING SUMMER IN 2016 I HAVE ALREADY LINED UP A GREAT SUMMER SCHEDULE THAT WILL FEATURE OUR OWN SLAM BASEBALL PLAYERS AS THEY WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE BEST SUMMER BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THESE TOURNAMENTS WILL RUN THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY 27, 2016 AND THEY WILL END ON JULY 5, 2016.

5. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT FOR THE NEXT SPRING OF 2017 SEASON. I AM PLANNING A TRIP TO TAKE THE BALL CLUB TO COMPETE AT A MORE NATIONAL LEVEL. I AM PLANNING ON TAKING THE SLAM BASEBALL TEAM TO A TRIP FOR A SPRING TOURNAMENT TO LAS VEGAS NEVADA TO PLAY IN THE LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL. I WENT TO THIS TOURNAMENT BACK IN 2001 WHEN I WAS AN ASSISTANT AT BEACH HIGH. I ALSO PLAN ON TAKING THE SLAM BASEBALL TEAM TO PLAY IN THE SARASOTA CLASSIC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT AND I AM WORKING ON A REGULAR SEASON GAME VS. TAMPA JESUIT WHICH IS ALSO A HIGHLY RANKED BALL CLUB IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND RANKED NATIONALLY.

6. SLAM SUMMER BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS THE FIRST TOURNAMENT OF THE SUMMER WILL BE THE PERFECT GAME EAST MEMORIAL DAY CLASSIC. THERE WILL BE : 14U, 16U & 18U DIVISIONS. THE DATES WILL BE FROM MAY 27-30. GAMES WILL BE IN FT. MYERS, FLORIDA. IT WILL BE A 4 GAME GUARANTEE ( WOOD BAT ) REFER TO THE LINK BELOW AND IT WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING OF THE TOURNAMENT IN DETAIL. http://www.perfectgame.org/(S(0wm44c45rrvv10451rpxnp45))/Events/Default.aspx?event=3244 http://www.perfectgame.org/(S(0wm44c45rrvv10451rpxnp45))/Events/Default.aspx?event=3245 http://www.perfectgame.org/(S(0wm44c45rrvv10451rpxnp45))/Events/Default.aspx?event=3246

7. THE SECOND TOURNAMENT OF THE SUMMER WILL BE THE VERO BEACH CLASSIC PROSPECT SELECT TOURNAMENT WHICH WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 10 – 15, 2016. THERE WILL BE A 5 GAME GUARANTEE ( WEATHER PERMITTING ) THERE WILL BE GUARANTEED COLLEGE COACHES AND PRO SCOUTS IN ATTENDANCE, THERE WILL BE ABOUT 250 TEAMS PARTCICIPATING IN THIS TOURNAMENT. HERE ARE THE TEAMSWHO HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO THIS TOURNAMENT : FLORIDA BURN, CHANDLER WORLD, ELITE SQUAD BASEBALL, ORLANDO SCORPIONS, FTB AND NOW WE WILL BE THERE SLAM BALL. ( SLAM ACADEMY ) AS A SCHOOL AND PLAY TOGETHER. REFER TO THE LINK BELOW FOR INFORMATION REGARDING INFORMATION OF THIS TOURNAMENT. http://ps-baseball.com/events/2016-06-10/2016-vero-beach-classic

8. THE POINT IS THIS, THERE’S NO REASON TO PLAY AND PAY A REDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO PLAY FOR COACHES THAT AREN’T EVEN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL COACHES. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THEY JUST BORROW YOU JUST FOR A TOURNAMENT OR TOURNAMENTS JUST SO THEY CAN LOOK GOOD AND WIN AND RECEIVE ALL THE CREDIT FOR THEMSELVES. THE PERSON OR THE COACH THAT DEALS AND SEES THE PLAYER THE MOST IS THEIR HIGH SCHOOL COACH,SO THIS SUMMER, I WILL BE COACHING ALL MY SLAM BASEBALL PLAYERS IN THE SUMMER.THIS IS ONE OF THE GOALS THAT I HAD IN MIND WHEN I WAS NAMED THE HEAD BASEBALL COACH AND DIRECTOR OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS HERE AT SLAM. THE VERO BEACH PROSPECT SELECT BASEBALL CLASSIC TOURNAMENT IS RUN THROUGH A GOOD FRIEND OF MYSELF AND COACH LOPEZ. WE ACTUALLY COACHED AGAINST HIM WHEN HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STAR AT KILLIAN H.S. IN 2000 & 2001.HIS NAME IS AARON BRAITHWAITE. WITH THIS SAID, IT WILL ALWAYS BE VERY EASY TO GET OUR SLAM BASEBALL PRORAM TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS TOURNAMENT EVERY SUMMER. MYSELF AND COACH LOPEZ BEING A FORMER HIGH SCHOOL COACH HIMSELF HAVE GREAT KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW A LOT OF BASEBALL CONTACTS AND HAVE GREAT CONNECTIONS TO HELP EACH AND EVERY PLAYER IN OUR PROGRAM.

9. THE 3 RD TOURNAMENT OF THE SUMMER IS THE 17U EAST BASEBALL USA JR. OLYMPICS TOURNAMENT & THE 15 U EAST BASEBALL USA JR. OLYMPICS TOURNAMENT. DATES : 17U WILL BE FROM 06/16/2016 – 06/23/2016 & THE 15U WILL BE FROM 06/23/2016 – 06/30/2016. THIS TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD IN THE SPRING TRAINING HOME OF THE ST.LOUIS CARDINALS & OF THE MIAMI MARLINS AND AT THE SANTALUCES COMPLEX. IN THIS TOURNAMENT WE WILL PLAY A MINIMUM OF SIX SCHEDULED GAMES WEATHER PERMITTING, FOUR GAMES GUARANTEED. I KNOW THAT EVERY PLAYER AND EVERY PARENT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AND REPRESENT TEAM USA. IN THIS TOURNAMENT, IF THERE IS A PLAYER WHO CAN REALLY STAND OUT AS A TALENTED PLAYER WHO MIGHT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVITED TO THE USA TRIALS, THIS IS THE TOURNAMENT IN WHICH THEY WILL NEED TO SHOWCASE THEIR SKILLS. THE ACTUAL TRIALS WILL BE HELD IN CARY, N.C.

10. SO THAT ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS KNOW, THAT OUT OF ALL THE SUMMER TOURNAMENTS, THIS TOURNAMENT IS PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT ONE TO GET ACCEPTED AN INVITATION TO PLAY AND PARTICIPATE. YEARS AGO IN COACHING ONE OF MY FORMER PLAYERS IN ALBERT ALMORA, WHO WAS A 6 TIME USA PLAYER WHICH IS A NATIONAL AMATUER RECORD, AND ALBERT WAS A 4 TIME GOLD MEDAL WINNERIN THE 6 CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN WHICH HE PLAYED FOR TEAM USA. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE GREAT CONTACTS WITH THE TEAM USA OFFICIALS WHICH WOULD CONSIDER ME IN ACCEPTING OUR SCHOOL AND BASEBALL PROGRAM ( SLAM ) TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE TWO TOURNAMENTS. THE 17U & THE 15U TEAMS. THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST OF THE TOURNAMENTS FOR EXPOSURE FOR COLLEGE & PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES AND ALSO FOR NATIONAL PLAYER RANKINGS AS WELL.

JUSTIN ROSWELL IS A GOOD FRIEND OF COACH ALVARO LOPEZ AND MYSELF, AND COACH LOPEZ HAD TALKED TO HIM OVER THE PHONEAND EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE WERE TRYING TO GET ACCEPTED IN THIS TOURNAMENT, AND IT HAPPENED INSTANTLY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LINK BELOW IN RELATION TO THIS TOURNAMENT. http://www.teamonebaseball.com/tournaments/article/1223/

14. WITH THESE 4 MAJOR TOURNAMENTS THAT WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN OVER THE SUMMER, WE WILL BE PLAYING A TOTAL OF ABOUT 20 GAMES OR MORE. A REMINDER THAT THESE ARE ALL NATIONAL BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS,IN WHICH WILL HELP YOUR SON GET THE MAXIMIMUM EXPOSURE FOR COLLEGES AND PRO SCOUTS AT A YOUNG AGE. AGAIN, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THESE 4 TOURNAMENTS IS THAT I HAVE PLANNED IT OUT SO THAT I ( MYESLF ) WILL BE COACHING MY OWN PLAYERS OVER THE SUMMER AND NO ONE ELSE. IN BEING THE HEAD COACH OF THE SLAM BASEBALL PROGRAM AND THE DIRECTOR OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS, I FEEL THAT IT IS IN MY BEST INTEREST FOR MYSELF TO COACH THE PLAYERS THAT ARE IN MY BASEBALL PROGRAM.

15. BESIDES THE TOURNAMENTS THAT WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE SUMMER, THERE WILL BE PRACTICES THAT WILL BE HELD IN PREPARATION FOR THESE TOURNAMENTS. MY COACHING STAFF WILL BE ASSISTING ME IN THESE PRACTICES AND WITH THE TOURNAMENTS AS WELL. ALSO,DURING THE SUMMER, I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO OTHER HIGH SCHOOL HEAD COACHES AT OTHER PROGRAMS AROUND DADE COUNTY WHO WILL BE TAKING THEIR PROGRAM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME SUMMER TOURNAMENTS AS WE WILL PLAY LEAGUE GAMES EITHER DURING THE WEEK OR ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN THERE’S NOT TOURNAMENT GAMES SO THAT ONE CAN PLAY VS. GOOD COMPETITION. ONE OF MY GOALS WAS TO PLAY VS. GOOD COMPETITION IN THE SUMMER AND YEAR AROUND.
