In 2013, USA Baseball will utilize a rolling invitation process for the players named to the Women's National Team Development Program. Up to 38 players will be identified for the 2013 Women's National Team Development Program through the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series (NTIS), video submission and recommendations from scouts, college and high school coaches and the women's baseball community. As players are named to the team, USA Baseball will publicize the announcement(s) through a press release and/or by post to USABaseball.com.

The primary identification vehicle for the 2013 USA Baseball Women's National Team Development Program will be through video submission turned into USA Baseball for consideration. USA Baseball coaches and Task Force members will evaluate each of the videos and select a minium of 35 athletes to attend 2013 USA Baseball Women's National Team Development Program.

Players may also qualify for the following calendar year's Women's NDTP by competing in the NTIS. The NTIS is held each August and September and provides USA Baseball with an advanced look at the upcoming class of top players at the 14, 15 and 16 age levels. Players may register to participate for the NTIS here. At the NTIS, USA Baseball Task Force members will identify a minimum of three (3) players for the following season's Women's NTDP. Players may participate in the NTIS through a regional qualification process or via the USA Stars at-large program. For 2013, these invitations have already been made based on the 2012 NTIS.

Once at the Women's National Team Development Program, players will participate in skill development sessions, various off-field educational components including guest speakers/instructors and intrasquad Red vs. Blue games. Players will be able to build an extensive portfolio of their skill sets to be considered for the 2014 Women's National Team Trials. Eight (8) players from the 2013 Women's National Team Development Program will receive an invitation to the 2014 Women's National Team Trials.
