I would like to start off by saying Carolina Elite Baseball is a youth baseball program, and not everybody in this program may have the ambition of playing collegiate, or professional baseball in the future. Proper perspective needs to be maintained when looking at youth baseball, and this program wasn't designed to simply develop college and professional athletes.  Those players who simply want a fun and educational baseball experience are every bit as important to us as those who may one day grace a major league baseball field.

With that said, however, there may be some players that come through this program who will want to pursue a baseball career beyond high school.  If, and when that time comes, Carolina Elite Baseball will be an invaluable resource to help you through the recruiting process.  James Molinari has experience on both sides of this process, as a former recruited athlete and college recruiter.  This experience and knowledge can help you understand the process, and how the negotiation works (make no mistake about it, scholarships are a negotiation)!  Carolina Elite Baseball will help you understand the entire recruiting process, including:

• How baseball scholarships work (they are different than other scholarship in terms of the amount schools have to work with), including the difference between baseball money vs. financial aid

• What is a "deal", and why is it offered

• What role does the MLB draft play in the recruiting process (regardless of whether you are a potential draft pick, it still may effect you)!!!

• How to interpret what different recruiters may tell you

• Tips on saving you money over the duration of your scholarship.  Knowing what questions to ask can save you thousands of dollars over the course of your son's scholarship!
