Team Tryouts and Registration

All new and returning players are expected to attend an Ohio Tide tryout for 2026 team placement. We are kindly requesting every player complete the online registration in order to participate.

Upon arrival players should sign in at the check-in located near the fields. Players perform better in the group tryouts without spectators. We strongly recommend dropping your player off and picking up at the conclusion of the tryouts. You can sit in your car in the parking lots across from the football field to wait for your athlete.

The players will be directed to an age-appropriate group to be evaluated by coaches on baseball skills, including fielding, throwing, pitching, and base running. Coaches will also take note of each player's general confidence as a ballplayer and as an athlete.

All team offers will be communicated on a rolling basis as we build age level teams before or by August 4th via email. In the best interest of all families awaiting decisions, we expect families to review their offer and respond within 48 hours of receipt so we can get a good understanding of the roster positions for each team or communicate with Ohio Tide to discuss an extension if needed.

If you choose to be a part of the 2026 Ohio Tide season, you will need to complete the online season payment included in your offer with your deposit to lock in your player's spot. 

We know this is both an exciting and stressful time of the year, and are committed to handling the process as quickly and transparently as possible. If you have not heard from the Ohio Tide or contemplating an offer from another organization, feel free to contact either of our baseball leadership team for an update.
