Fall Instructional League (2024 Skagit)

An Exclusive, MLB-Inspired Training Opportunity for Ages 9-18

Deadline for nominations is September 1st.

Every year MLB teams send their future players to Fall Instructs to develop specific skills during actual live games. In 2022, MLB’s Brent Lillibridge and Steven Souza Jr. introduced a similar program here in the Pacific Northwest and it was an immediate hit. This elite training returns for a third consecutive year offering your athlete a chance at a rare on-field MLB training experience!

FEATURING

SURPRISE GUEST APPEARANCES!
It’s hard to make firm promises as schedules of those at the highest level are challenging to nail down, but we do our best and have been honored to have players such as Dan Wilson, Cal Raleigh, and Corbin Carroll stop by, as well as a number of elite trainers, scouts*, and more.

*No, this is not a showcasing event, but scouts have shown up to share insight on the recruiting process.

PLAYER NOMINATIONS

We are only able to accommodate a limited number of players and are looking for the Northwest’s most elite young talent.

To find those athletes, players will need to obtain a brief letter of recommendation from their coach prior to completing Step 1 of the registration process. Once approved, players will be contacted and invited to return to this page to officially register by completing Step 2.
