Scorpions Baseball wants to help change the landscape of youth baseball and player development.

Youth baseball has changed significantly over the years, but the game has stayed the same. Developing skills to be showcased on the field is a major focus, but creating a positive environment where players can ultimately succeed is the larger goal. Players adapt and learn best with positive feedback and encouragement. Scorpions Baseball provides structure, top quality programming, and an environment that allows players to grow and succeed in all phases of the game.

The “Scorpions Way” is all about attitude and effort. Providing the resources and platform to build players over time helps build leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. The importance of succeeding on the field, building confidence, and winning all come from the work and effort put in during the season, and at home. Players and teams are successful when everyone buys-in to achieve the same result.

The New York Scorpions baseball program provides resources to guide any ball player to the next level. Scorpions Baseball offers teams from 7U-14U and is based out of the Long Island, NY area. Developing baseball skills, teaching the game, building leadership, and providing a platform for players to advance their careers is the ultimate goal. The Scorpions coaching staff brings years of experience at the high school, college, and professional levels. Scorpions Baseball is dedicated to improving the future of our game.

Tryouts are typically held in Mid-Late August and Early November for the following season. Tryouts do not occur while teams are still playing league and tournament games which generally finish by Early August.

We hold a make-up tryout in November for those that are unavailable for our primary tryout event. However, teams can fill up fast so we strongly encourage prospective players to try their best to attend the main tryout you have just moved to the area please reach out and we will work with you to schedule a tryout for your child.

For all Scorpions teams, age eligibility is determined by USSSA player's age on or after May 1st of each year. Ex. 5/1/2012-4/30/2013 would qualify for 12U starting Fall 2024 through Summer 2025.

The New York Scorpions offers both Showcase and Academy level team options for players of all skill levels. Our coaches will provide honest feedback about what team is the best fit for your player based on their current age, development, and baseball skill level.

Our offseason training program begins towards the end of October and runs through December. This program consists of a weekly long-toss program and speed and agility training. Pitchers will begin throwing bullpens in December at our indoor facility and team practices will begin in January. Youth teams (7U-13U) will begin playing games in April and run through Early August.

All Scorpions teams play in East Coast, Hot Stove, USABL, and Perfect Game divisions for both leagues and tournaments.

The number of tournaments per season played varies by age. 7U-8U play approximately 2 tournaments in addition to league play. 9U-13U play approximately 3 tournaments in addition to league games. We play a wide range of events, including those offered by the East Coast, Hot Stove, USABL, Lasorda Legacy, Ripken Experience, Cooperstown, and Perfect Game.

The vast majority of games will be played locally. Each team develops their own tournament schedule which may include 1-2 overnight trips to New Jersey or Maryland. In addition, teams may plan for a longer trip involving extended travel, but such events are limited.

For our 7U-13U teams we typically like to carry 12 players so that all players receive adequate playing time. The main priority at Scorpions is player development and we believe that players must be on the field in order to develop.

Indoor practices are held at a facility designated by the Head Coach of each team. We are currently utilizing facilities such as Baseball Plus, Max Effort, and LIB with more arrangements possible in the future. Outdoor practices are typically held at Wantagh or Eisenhower Parks along with some other local Nassau County School fields. Games are typically played throughout Nassau and Suffolk County.

Roster fees cover all player expenses except for any needed travel. Players receive a uniform package and a gear bag.

Most teams end up playing between 50-70 games each year.
