Athletes Can Now Compete in Select National Tournaments Through Structured 'Team PG' Rosters

SANFORD, Fla., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced the launch of Individual Player Entry, a new initiative designed to provide athletes the opportunity to compete in select national events even if their primary team is not attending.

Through the program, players can now register individually and be placed on a structured "Team PG" roster, allowing them to participate fully in high-profile tournaments traditionally limited to team-only entries. The initiative ensures that elite athletes maintain access to national exposure, premium competition and continued development opportunities without leaving or changing their primary teams.

"Perfect Game has always been committed to creating opportunity," said Bob Barth, Vice President of Operations for Perfect Game. "Individual Player Entry opens doors for athletes who are ready to compete on the national stage but may not have a team attending a particular event. This program keeps players visible, competitive and advancing."

Individual Player Entry is designed to preserve the integrity and competitive standards that define Perfect Game's premiere national events. Each Team PG roster is carefully structured to ensure competitive balance and meaningful opportunity for every participant.

Benefits Include:

• National exposure even if a player's primary team is not attending
• The opportunity to compete at the highest level in premium national events
• Season flexibility if a team is not participating, drops out or does not qualify
• Continued ability to build and strengthen a player's Perfect Game Player Profile

Program Advantages:

• Access to traditionally team-only national events
• Structured rosters capped by position to ensure balance and opportunity
• High-level coaching from official Perfect Game staff and/or college coaches
• The opportunity to compete alongside other elite individual players
• Maintain your primary team affiliation while gaining additional exposure

Program Features:
