TRAILBLAZER SERIES

In 2017, Major League Baseball and USA Baseball launched the inaugural Trailblazer Series for female baseball players, built around Jackie Robinson Day. The 2024 Trailblazer Series will take place from April 13-16, 2024 and will feature competitive play, world-class instruction, and unique educational opportunities. Participants will have the unique opportunity to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day at Jackie's namesake facility and learn from current and former members of the USA Baseball Women's National Team and others in the baseball industry. 

When: April 13-16, 2024

Where: Jackie Robinson Training Complex (Vero Beach, FL)

Eligibility: Female baseball players 12-13 years old (applicants must be at least 12 years old by April 13, 2024 and not older than 13 before April 16, 2024)

*Trailblazer participants' lodging, meals, and air travel (if applicable) to/from Vero Beach will be covered.

The application is due by 11:59pm ET on Friday, December 1, 2023.  Late applications will not be considered. While we wish all applicants could attend, the Trailblazer Series is a limited-capacity event, and there will be some deserving applicants who are not selected for participation. In reviewing applications, the selection committee considers several relevant factors related to event logistics, including, but not limited to, the following: age divisions, position coverage, geographical mix, and previous event participation. All applicants are required to submit a skills video; however, greater emphasis will be placed on such skills video for 13-year old applicants. The skills video should highlight the athlete's basic baseball skills -- hitting, fielding, throwing, and/or pitching/catching (if applicable). Cell phone video is sufficient.

Please be advised that athletes ultimately selected to participate in the 2024 Trailblazer Series will be required to say on-site at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex and will room with at least one other athlete.
