Please be sure to email us at
falloncollegetours@gmail.com to let us know if you’ll be attending any or all of this weekend.
FOCUS – Our purpose for this weekend is to continue to introduce our members to the college recruiting process, college coaches and their programs. Our goal is to continue to educate each member through the recruiting process so they have the ability to make the very best decision in choosing their college. There is without question a direct connection between the members who stay engaged with our program and all of the activities within it to the members who make the right decision when selecting a college. Bottom line our goal is to be sure when you select a college, it is a place where you are comfortable, have a chance to play and earn your degree from that institution. Learning the process, learning yourself, experiencing all that we do with Fallon Sports helps you get closer to your goal of playing in college.
On Friday, when on our Arizona Christian University visit and any college visit, please wear clothes that are comfortable and will represent you well (polo & khaki’s would be ideal). Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of walking & standing during the visit. Bring a notebook to take notes and also jot down some questions that are important to you so they get answered. Do not take notes in your phone, as a matter of fact it is never a good idea to be on your phone or even bring your phone on any of these visits.
On Saturday, we will be back in baseball attire with a full workout for the college coaches in attendance at Tempe Diablo as well as as many games/innings as we have pitching. The games will be played live and the workout piece is so the coaches (and Fallon Sports staff) can make the proper evaluations of each player.
On Sunday, due to the extension of the Central Arizona College league, we have decided not to do anything within our showcase but for those still available and interested Ottawa University has asked us to extend an invitation to our members to games being played within their baseball recruiting camp – the cost (paid directly to Ottawa & for Sunday only) is $50.
Friday November 2 @ Arizona Christian University
1:30pm – Arrive at Arizona Christian University (meet at baseball field)
- attend practice, watch, listen and learn
- introduction to head coach Joe McDonald
- campus tour with current players and coaches
- follow up Q&A with coach McDonald
- those interested in ACU will be invited back for a workout/tryout.
The recruiting approach at ACU is to be sure you are interested in them first, their style and that you have a relationship with Christ before they invite you out to workout. So if you’re interested in ACU or the possibility of working out for them, be sure you are in attendance and you’ll be invited back to workout with their team.
