Perfect Game to Host Summer College Instructional Series

Share
May 19, 2026

Perfect Game will host five College Instructional Series events in summer 2026 for 16U and 17U baseball players across five U.S. locations. Active college coaches from NCAA Division II, III, NAIA, and junior college programs will staff the events, managing on-field instruction and gameplay.

Event structure:

Each four-day event includes an instructional workout followed by three round-robin games with pregame work. Players will receive hands-on instruction from coaches representing up to 16 different college programs per event.

The format assigns coaches to work two days of each four-day event. Their responsibilities extend beyond observation to include throwing BP, running pregame routines, and providing instruction during games.

2026 schedule:

  • June 6-9: Palmyra, Pennsylvania

  • June 11-14: New Lenox, Illinois

  • June 13-16: Fairfax, Virginia

  • June 22-25: Southeast Florida

  • June 23-26: Staten Island, New York

 

Dual value proposition:

The series addresses two distinct needs in the baseball recruiting ecosystem. Players gain direct access to college coaches during skill development and gameplay, while coaches supplement their income through summer instructional work. The hands-on format lets coaches evaluate prospects in both instructional and competitive settings.

Perfect Game describes the coach’s role as “central to helping athletes take the next step in their careers, which may end up being at your institution.” The structure creates extended exposure time beyond typical showcase environments, targeting the critical recruiting window for high school juniors and rising seniors.
