We want to see everything you are capable of doing. If you play several positions, show us footage of different skills. Please keep in mind, though that we receive hundreds of videotapes each season and simply don't have time to view excess and unneeded footage. We have given some guidelines as to what we want to see and how many repetitions we'd like to see. In what order you perform the skills makes no difference.

We recommend using the zoom feature rather than moving in a position you may disturb the fielder or hitter.

The entire tape should only be approximately 8 to 12 minutes.
