Getting to Cooperstown is a dream come true for many 12U players. But for parents? The path to that dream can feel overwhelming—especially without a full-time travel team.
If you’ve been wondering how to join a Cooperstown team without dealing with politics, tryouts, or uncertainty, you’re in the right place.
At Guest Player Connect, we’ve made the Cooperstown signup process simple, inclusive, and stress-free—from the moment you register to the final out under the lights.
Parents choose GPC because there are no tryouts, no politics, and no long-term commitments. Instead of waiting around to see if your child “makes the team,” you pick your week, sign up, and go.
There’s no gatekeeping, no favoritism, and no worrying that your player or their friend won’t be selected. We believe that every kid who loves the game deserves a shot at the Cooperstown experience.
Start by browsing available weeks on our Cooperstown Teams page. Each week has limited spots—but we offer hold options and waitlists for high-demand dates.
Sign up solo or with friends. Register your player, secure your spot with a deposit, and let us handle the rest. You’ll get regular updates from our team so you’re always in the loop.
After signup, you’ll complete a short player profile. This helps us build balanced rosters based on:
Submitting a skill video is optional—it’s not required to join. Some families upload short clips (hitting, throwing, fielding) to help coaches get familiar with their player, but no one is ever turned away based on video.
GPC does not hold tryouts, and you will not wait to find out if your child was “picked.” Everyone is welcome. Everyone plays.
Once you sign up, our team gets to work creating rosters that are:
We also consider personality fits, lefty/righty mix, catching depth, and pitching availability. Our goal isn’t just to fill a lineup—it’s to build a team that clicks on and off the field.
Before the big weekend, your coach will reach out to introduce themselves and help you prepare. You’ll get:
GPC coaches are paid professionals, not parent volunteers. They’re background-checked, SafeSport-trained, and experienced. That means no drama, no favoritism—just baseball and fun.
Before the event, we’ll send your GPC jersey and hat—your player will also wear the official CASV uniform for games.
You’ll receive:
We keep communication simple and clear, so you never feel lost or behind.
From the minute you step on campus, the experience comes alive:
Parents relax in shaded seating, grab snacks, and enjoy the show. GPC handles the logistics—you just enjoy the moment.
After the weekend ends, the GPC experience keeps going.
We send out:
Many players return again, others stay connected with their teammates. Either way, the memories last far beyond the tournament.
Q: Do you have tryouts or cut players?
A: No. Everyone who registers is placed on a team. No tryouts. No waiting. No cuts.
Q: Is a skill video required?

Most of our Cooperstown teams are for 12U players, with some 11U. We also offer a 13U option that plays in a different Cooperstown tournament.
Every situation is different, but we will work with you if we can. It is recommended that you reach out to GPC and explain your situation.
At GPC, we believe every player should have a chance to experience the magic of Cooperstown, without the stress and pressure of typical travel baseball.
No politics. No tryouts. No waiting to hear if you made the team.
Just pick your week, sign up, and let your child enjoy the experience of a lifetime—with friends, fair play, and full support.
