Which baseball camps and tournaments offer the best opportunities to be seen by recruiters?
Do expensive camps and large showcases offer maximum exposure value?
It Depends ...
We build tournament teams and select playing opportunities for exposure value and optimal experience. By developing and priming players with major league training, our players are ready when opportunity presents itself.
We don't compete against club and high school schedules -- our calendar minimizes conflicts.
For placement on a team, contact Director of Player Development & Head Coach Tony Torres, Tony@CAYardDawgsBaseball.com, (650) 704-3380.
Below are a few opportunities we've scheduled or are considering. These tournaments are built in our Programs. Program specifics are detailed on the "Yard Dawg Program" tab.

USABF Veteran's Tournament, November
Outstanding performance from those who participated in the November 18U USABF Veteran's Day Tournament! Although we tied for the best record, we missed playing in the championship game due to a tie-breaker rule. And we defeated the team that won the tournament.

Wood bat tournament, 3 game guarantee. First and second place individual awards in both divisions. 18U divison maximum 20 teams; 2009 high school graduates may participate if they meet May 1, 2010 age cutoff.
