“Seattle Select Baseball was formed to provide opportunities and exposure while competing at the highest youth baseball levels while instilling discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, honesty, and integrity. In the 2019-2020 season, Seattle Select Baseball fielded 12 teams with over 150 players. These players participated in regional and national tournaments, winning several regional and national titles. The COVID 19 epidemic severely hampered the club's efforts to develop players and field teams. The Seattle Select Baseball Club capitalized on the hard work of the coaches, players, parents, and the Board in the efforts to rethink and implement ways the club could continue to develop baseball players that can compete at the college and MLB levels safely. The results of creating a reliable program of athletics and academics again graduated seniors with opportunities to play college baseball. Seattle Select Baseball also continued to provide a safe playing experience for all participants during COVID and shut down activities preemptively and proactively during the season to maintain participant safety. Despite the COVID 19 challenges, the Seattle Select Baseball club revised its programs to improve its performance and community involvement. The club plans to continue offering safe & free training several nights a week for all members to develop their skills and provide a safe place. The 2019-2020 season brought COVID-related financial and operational challenges, but the club management, coaches, volunteers, and parents banded together to keep the club viable for the 2020-2021 season.”
