There are several keys to placing a player in a collegiate program: a player's ability, a program's needs, and most importantly, the proper academics and social fit.

Placement Profile System
Our new secure placement profile system provides instant access to the data that prospective coaches need. By personally evaluating our participants, and collecting and verifying information through academic counselors and coaches, we are able to provide the information coaches want, with secure access to our system from anywhere in the country. Our system provides for greater exposure locally, regionally, and nationally and supports our staff which still provides personal contact for prospective coaches and champions our participants.You may speak directly with the BLBI Director to get a demonstration of our system.

Arizona Core Baseball Champions the Player
Through the resources at ACB, we are able to call on contacts and use our large baseball network to identify potential opportunities. Because of these relationships, we are able to communicate directly with coaches and provide information including skill level and evaluations based on a player's particpation and progress in ACB instruction and other activities. Our new Placement Profile System assists us in providing data that prospective coaches need while still providing personal interaction.

Education for The Player and Parents
One of the most important aspects of our placement assistance is educating the player and parents on programs across the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA (junior college). Most importantly, we focus on the players goals and assist in establishing criteria across geographical location choices, academics, player goals, potential to contribute to a given program, and skill level.

Player and Parent Consulting
ACB counsels parents and players on traversing the sometimes overwhelming processes of applications and recruiting.

Hosting Events
Our hosting of events with prospective collegiate coaches gives the player an opportunity to perform and showcase talent level, and make personal contact. As collegiate coaches visit the local area throughout the year, we coordinate sessions to allow coaches an opportunity to gain personal, first hand experience and evaluate players. Our open enrollment events are open to all ACB members, and we additionally schedule invitation only events. Players must be invited to participate in invitational events.
