From those camps, USA Baseball s Great Lakes All-Region teams will be formed for 11U, 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U and 17U players. USA Baseball invites the nation s best baseball athletes in these age groups to the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina each year with the ultimate goal of forming the teams to represent our country as part of Team USA..
