Purchasing this item will allow player to access to both tryout dates.

The Flathead A’s are back for another FUN year of competitive, club baseball. The Flathead A’s mission is to grow the game of baseball here locally while providing opportunities for our athletes to compete against fierce competition and develop both physically and mentally. A’s Tryouts are for ages 9u - 14u.

A’s players receive all the tools to develop into an elite athlete and ball player with access to our indoor space, sport specific training programs and individual work to do outside of practice. Our staff of coaches are excited to get better with your athlete in 2027!

Players are encouraged to attend BOTH tryout dates. They will need to attend a minimum of one or make other arrangements to be considered for the 2027 Flathead A’s.

Reach out to Coach Forrest at (406) 261-8661 if there are any conflicts with the scheduled tryout dates.

For players in middle school or younger, practices will begin in the spring. Plan for practices 3-5x/week accompanied with regular athletic development training and arm care routines.

The Flathead A’s encourage players to participate in Local “Rec” League Baseball but don’t require it. The Flathead A’s will provide early spring opportunities to all middle school and younger players to practice and play baseball with the Flathead A’s.

Rosters will be limited to +/- 11 players per tournament, along with a 3-5 player “taxi” squad that is eligible to earn playing time at tournaments given their effort, and improvement.

Schedules will be tailored to each team and may vary on exact start date. Typically the “Tournament Season” runs from late April to Early July. Flathead A’s teams typically participate in 5 - 8 Tournaments with extra local games on top. All capped off by the Montana Superdraft in late July.

Final Schedules will be released in the Spring of 2027

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

Fundraising efforts are already underway! Our Scholarship Board has fundraisers going year round. Players will be able to partake in fundraising to cut down, or eliminate cost of entry. We also have additional scholarships available for those in need. Players/parents will be responsible for their own travel/accommodations during tournaments.

Every athlete will have the opportunity to fundraise ALL registration fees. Costs below include all tournament entry fees. Last year, we AVERAGED $925 raised per player (with many well above that amount) and anticipate more this year. Payments will be due in May, June, and July. Fundraising opportunities are scattered throughout May and June. This allows our A’s families to avoid any payments until July or at all! Please feel free to reach out to any of our coaches for more info on fundraising opportunities as we get closer to the season.
