How To Route A Player

  1. Use Find Your Team to identify the likely Legion post tied to the player's school area
  2. Send the player or parent to the team page or interest form
  3. District 17 routes the interest form to the right coach for follow-up
  4. The team coach confirms fit, roster need, schedule expectations, and registration timing

What To Tell Families

District 17 is not a showcase promise. It is a practical college-prep baseball environment: 20+ games for most teams, affordable team fees, local schedules, full 9-inning games, and coaches who can evaluate whether the player fits their roster.

  • Most team fees fall between $150 and $400
  • Players should expect a real summer commitment from May through July
  • Submitting interest starts a coach conversation; it is not a payment or confirmed roster spot

Coach-To-Coach Credibility

The best referrals are specific. If you know a player needs innings, confidence, a better summer rhythm, or a local competitive environment, District 17 gives you a credible next step to recommend without asking the family to guess which team fits.

When you send a player, tell the family what problem Legion solves for that player: more innings, a local summer schedule, full-game reps, confidence, or a coach-led team environment.
