Getting into college is an important and exciting
milestone. However, if playing college baseball/
softball is desired, it adds an entirely different
dimension. How will a coach know about you? Will a
coach take the call of an unknown high school
player? How will you know if you can get into the
schools you want? College EDGE is designed to
integrate the student athlete into a proper regiment
that offers them the most effective transition to
college.
