Sixteen players. Six years. Every one who set out to play college baseball earned an offer.
Every one of those sixteen started at 12U on the little field — the same diamond your kid stands on today. Six years later, every senior who wanted to keep playing had an offer in hand. That’s not recruiting talent. It’s building it. And it starts with one free tryout.

Rosters are set at tryouts — come to the night that matches your player’s age. Each team takes a limited number — when a team’s full, it’s full.
Bringing a whole roster?
Team inquiries stay off the individual tryout queue. Your coach stays your coach.
Come to the night that matches your player’s age. Every night is at Mountain Island Charter School. Tryout fee: Free.
220 Henderson Avenue, Mount Holly, North Carolina
Every player who tries out gets a Development Report — 5-tool grades, a coach’s read, the drills to work on, and a season plan. It’s in your family portal within 48 hours of tryout, and it’s yours to keep. This isn’t a participation trophy — it’s the plan: the grades show where your kid is, the plan shows what to fix, next season’s report shows the progress. That’s how you get our first graduating class: 16 for 16— every player who pursued college baseball earned an offer, plus two who weren’t even pursuing it. 18 offers, 16 accepted.

Strong arm and hustle profile. Plate discipline is the off-season focus.
Tee, inside pitch — 10 minutes, 3x/week. Hands inside the ball.
Same Development Report that posts in the family portal after tryouts — spot or no spot.
Same report · same portal · free tryout
Every player who tries out keeps the Development Report. Spot or no spot. It posts in your family portal within 48 hours.
You’re free to keep reading. When you want the report, the application is right below.
~90 seconds · no deposit todayYou don’t walk into a sales pitch — you walk out with a real scouting report on your kid’s game, spot or no spot. No other club hands the players they pass a written evaluation. The only way to leave with nothing is to not show up.
Most travel ball: write the check, hope for playing time, get a group text if your kid’s cut. RBC: every player gets developed, and every player gets the report — spot or no spot.
Every read runs on one code: HEAT — Hustle, Effort, Attitude, Teamwork.
Between them they’ve served on the Couloak Little League board and coached every rung of the ladder — 6U through high school, Challenge ball, development travel, and national showcase. The same coaches who played and coached at the top still run Wednesday-night drills for nine-year-olds.
On the little field or the big one, the report meets your player exactly where they are today — the sixteen started young too.
Free. No card, no deposit, no commitment. Your written evaluation is yours either way.
The teams running tryouts for this season aren’t finalized yet. Check back soon, or reach out directly to be notified the moment they are.
Most clubs won’t put a number in front of you until your kid is already attached to the team. We just did. Buy one season, get the next one free — they run back to back, so it works out to roughly $750 to $1,750 a season, depending on your player’s age and level.
Uniforms, coaching, practices, and tournament entry fees.
Travel — hotels, gas, and food on tournament weekends. Optional add-on workouts and camps.
We’d rather you read that list in July than find out in March.
If the number is still hard, say so out loud. Roughly one in ten Regulators families is on scholarship right now, funded by anonymous donations from inside this club. And if a standard payment plan doesn’t fit, tell us what you cando — we’ll build the plan around that number. We have never turned a family away over money. Not once.
Baseball changed my life. I’m not going to let a checking account decide whether it gets to change your kid’s.
Earn the spot. We’ll handle the money.
— Coach Ben
The things parents actually ask us before their first tryout.
Yes. In writing. That is the entire reason the portal exists.
Most clubs leave you refreshing a roster post or waiting on a text that never comes. You will get a straight answer — and either way, you also get your player's Development Report: 5-tool grades, a coach's honest read, the drills to work on, and a season plan. Spot or no spot, it's yours to keep.
Fast, and in writing.
Within 48 hours of your player's tryout night — often sooner — you get his Development Report, and if he has earned a spot, an offer. That clock starts at the end of his night, not at the end of the tryout window.
If he is on the bubble, you will hear within 24 hours of first-round offers going out: either a spot opened, or we are offering him an alternate position. Nobody sits until the last night wondering.
No — and you are exactly the family this is built for.
The tryout is free. You spend an hour and you leave knowing precisely where your kid stands, in writing, from coaches who do this for a living. Families who skip a free tryout because they are not sure aren't avoiding a no — they are paying for another season of not knowing. A fair number of them are pleasantly surprised.
No. Nothing to sign, nothing to pay, no deposit.
The tryout is free, and it stays free whether or not you end up with us.
Yes — and most families never think to ask.
We make roster decisions after every night, not after the last one. Tryout, decide. Tryout, decide. The earlier your night, the more spots are still open. Nobody is holding a spot for the final night, because by then it may not exist.
Come to the earliest night your player's age group runs.
A real place in the program without the price tag. Alternates practice with the team and fill in on weekends when we need them — no fee.
It is what we offer players who were close. It is not offered to everyone, and it is not a consolation ribbon — it is for kids we would rather keep developing than lose to another club.
Apply, and your what-to-bring list is waiting in your portal — along with your night, your start time, and the venue.
Short version: he needs cleats and a glove. We can cover the rest.
Request a different night in your portal and we will move you. You will get an email confirming the new one.
Just don't no-show — a night you can't make is a spot another family could have used.
We are on an all-turf facility, so rain is rarely the problem it is at other clubs.
We watch the forecast. A passing storm, we wait it out and play. Steady rain all evening, we move you to another night and email you.
Two to three nights a week.
Times shift with the school's field schedule, and that is on purpose: in the spring we do not start until early-to-mid May, after school baseball. We schedule around your kid's school season, not against it. You will never be asked to choose between us and his school team.
8U–12U: eight to twelve across spring and summer.
13U and up: roughly five across the summer, since spring belongs to school ball.
Fall: every team plays four to five.
Primarily Perfect Game, with Top Gun and USSSA mixed in at the younger ages.
At the older ages we add Dynamic, Prospect Select, and PBR — the events where college coaches are actually in the stands and your player's numbers follow him.
