RosterMatch is an organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio that offers individual player opportunities in the greater Cincinnati area as well as other states such as Georgia and Florida.

What makes RosterMatch unique is that teams are assembled entirely from individual sign-ups. Each applicant is carefully reviewed to ensure they will be a good fit for the high-quality and competitive tournament they will experience. In addition, all RosterMatch coaches are completely independent, so you won’t have to worry about biases common with other teams such as favoritism and parent politics.

We have witnessed countless benefits for young ball players who participate in RosterMatch. Some positive outcomes we expected, and some we did not, but were pleasantly surprised to see. It’s a youth baseball experience like no other, so if it’s something you and your athlete are interested in, some of the biggest reasons to play with RosterMatch include:

Additional Playing Time

RosterMatch is a great way to seek additional playing opportunities outside of the regular season. Participants can compete in new tournaments and locations throughout most of the year, putting them on the fast track to enhancing their skills and experience. If your athlete enjoys playing baseball as much as possible, RosterMatch is a great opportunity for them.

Independent Coaching 

RosterMatch coaches are assigned to a team they have no connection to.  No kids on the team, no knowledge of the players, and no preconceived notions of the players.  No pigeon-holing.  No daddy ball.  True objective Coaching with a focus on providing players opportunities to learn and grow.

Learn to be a Teammate 

Playing with RosterMatch with a bunch of people you don’t know will teach you how to be a teammate. It creates an environment where players encourage and rely on each other to achieve a common goal of playing and working as a team to the best of their abilities.

Fun!

Perhaps most importantly, RosterMatch is incredibly fun for young players. Chances are if your son has expressed interest in playing more baseball, they have a genuine love for the game and want to play as much as possible because they have a real interest in improving their skills and athleticism.

Compete in High-Level Tournaments

RosterMatch teams compete in high-level tournaments in the greater Cincinnati area as well as travel opportunities in states such as Georgia and Florida. Players will have the opportunity to test themselves against elite competition, gain valuable experience, and get noticed by coaches of elite teams.

Make New Friends

With the shared experience of forming a completely new team, RosterMatch players typically have no problem making fast friends with their new teammates.

Get a “Fresh Start”

Because all players on a RosterMatch team are new, everyone is treated equally. Every player gets ample playing time and is given the opportunity to prove themselves in an encouraging environment. This results in a “fresh start” for many players because they are not forced into predetermined positions or roles.

Conclusion

If any one of these reasons caught your attention, you should certainly give RosterMatch a try. It’s a truly unique experience that promotes both athletic and character development for young baseball players and allows them to branch out and gain new perspectives.
