We are pleased that you are interested in becoming a member of the 2010 Quad City Heat Baseball Club. Below is the information and times when we will be having our open tryouts. The tryouts are open to anyone from Iowa or Illinois, with no distance or boundary restricting. We are having 3 days for players to tryout if they feel that they did not perform as well as they could have on the first 2, and to better accommodate the family's schedule. We insist that you come to at least 2 tryouts but only need to make 1. For the last 4 years, the Quad City Heat has grown faster than any other organization in the Quad City Metro area. In the past 3 years, we have added 2 nice diamonds to our home fields and have to currently 7 teams from ages 9 -14. For our tryouts, we are looking for players that want more instruction, more competition, and an overall advanced game, all while having a team-first attitude along with showing desire and dedication to master the game at the player's fullest potential. For our 2010 season, we have probably the most knowledgeable and dedicated coaches ever, which will benefit every player involved. At our tryouts, some things the coaches may do but are not limited to are; taking radar of the pitcher's speed, recording running times, introducing drills to see how fast players pick up new things and listen, defensive drills, catcher drills, live practice, etc.

For the 2010 season, we are looking to field 1- 9u, 2 - 10u, 2 - 11u, 2 -12u, 2 - 13u, and 1 - 14u team. All ages are based as of April 30th, 2010.
