What to expect.

.Expect four days of intensive learning in the classroom and at the ballpark. Your instructors will provide the education and then accompany you to the stadium as you scout players in the Arizona Fall League.

​Expect two classroom sessions per day, and one baseball game, Friday - Sunday. Thursday and Monday, half-days will be reserved for introduction, more instruction, and evaluation of your progress.
