No politics. Just progress.

REAL RECRUITING. REAL RESULTS.

Athletics Mercado isn’t just another travel name — we’re a proven national recruiting machine.

Recruits placed in 12+ states, including California, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma and more
Athletes committed to elite programs like UCLA, Texas Tech, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina and Clemson
Class of 2025 alone: 14 DI commits and counting
10 Mercado alumni on the 8 teams that played in the 2025 Women’s College World Series
Real opportunities. Not empty promises.

YES — our Ohio branch is fully supported by the California HQ, the same program that’s helped launch athletes to the highest levels of college softball. Same recruiting engine. Same standards. Same next-level results.

If you’re in the Midwest and ready to be developed, promoted, and recruited — not just rostered — then you’re in the right place.

No fluff. Just facts.
College-ready athletes.
Families focused on what matters: the next level.

Athletics Mercado Ohio is building something special. Fully backed. Fully locked in.

Saw you play at a tournament. Looked like you had solid team.

Don't let these old men bother you. They will pick on anyone using this space for anything except:

high school rankings, and that time the bandits didn't play the bandits in that game (can you believe it?).

How much?

Re: Athletics Mercado Ohio 14U

To answer the question about cost:
Commitment fee is $700.
This will cover (2)practice jerseys, helmet, and all fall tournaments

Uniforms are separate. Uniform choices will be decided and voted on by the players and families. Athletics Mercado has a central ordering site. The uniforms selected will be shipped direct to your home.

As an Athletics Mercado family member you will receive a player discounts on apparel and gear. Any items purchase thru the Athletics Mercado team store are in stock and ready to ship.

Athletics Mercado partners with brands like Wilson, Evoshield, New Balance, Oakley, and our newest collab Bruce Bolt. These brands you receive a player discount as well and will ship direct from the Manufacturer to your door as well.

After the Fall, our team will meet as a group to agree upon a plan to cover the remaining amount of the player fees.

As a team we will breakdown the remaining Summer tournament fees. Review together any and all expenses and determine a monthly team dues amount.

Nothing is hidden. We are an open book. 100% transparency.

Any questions please call me. A phone conversation can go a long way.

Thank You.

Why would someone from want to travel from the Chicago area to come play in Ohio on your team?

I understand kids traveling to elite programs like the Bandits, Chill, IMG, etc. I do not understand why a family and player would want to travel long distances to play with a nobody franchise team in Ohio.

There are many ways to get to a player’s goals. Everybody’s story is different. Quit disparaging a coach from providing an option to our local young ladies.

Franchises aren’t the real thing. Your team or even your branch has not placed athletes in those states or at those programs. All the coaches know theirs a difference between the main team and the franchises.

All that and you're not even mentioned on their website

We understand the stigma that often is associated with the National brand franchised programs. All we ask is to look and compare what we are offering.

I can only speak for the Ohio region of Athletics Mercado that we are fully supported by California and our organization President Mr. Brian Tidd.

Please take a look at our 14U Gold teams challenging Fall and Summer schedule. Our mission is to challenge and promote our players and provide them with opportunities to reach their goals.

AM Ohio will offer regional and national team options for our family’s to chose what the right fit is for their player.

To address your false claim that the Ohio region was not listed on the main Athletics Mercado website, please check again. You will find what you were looking for. (Ohio Region) is listed.

Yes. You are correct college coaches know the National brands and the franchise regions.

At the end of the day it is all about competing against the best organizations and attending the top exposure events for your player to showcase their individual skills.

Thank You.
