Please follow the link below to register for our 2023-2024 Missouri Bulls tryouts.  You must have an account set up with us first. Returning players, login to your account. For a new athlete, please create an account. It is important that you complete EVERY BOX on the registration form. Thank you in advance, and we look forward to seeing you!

Our goal is to be transparent about the game plan as our Missouri Bulls Organization continues to grow.  Please read this over before registering your athlete for our tryouts.  Our organization is currently made up of 19 teams, ages 8u-18u.  Some of our established teams have a majority of players returning for the 2023-2024 season.  Those teams are seeking the position players needed to complete their team for 2024. We intend to build additional teams this upcoming season as well, working toward an A, AA, AAA team in each age group.  This will enable the appropriate level of play for each developing Bulls athlete and team.  If you have questions about this before tryouts, please contact Todd Pennington, Missouri Bulls Director, at 618-306-2265.

From Todd-

My goal for our 2024 18u Bulls is to create a unique experience for our 2024 SENIORS.  This is the schedule format we have executed for the past 2 summers for our 18u Bulls, and it has been a good balance.

-Fall baseball (optional)

-Late fall agility training

-Winter team training (Jan./Feb.)

-5 summer tournaments (half season- mid June-mid July)

My hope is to prepare you for your senior season and college prep, while also freeing up some time to spend with family and friends, senior trips and graduation celebrations. This has been a win-win for our senior families over the past couple of years, but each year we will continue to discuss and good balance for our 18u players and families. The price for the 18u team in this format was $1,800 in 2023 due to a shortened tournament schedule.
