TRAINING

   Paramount Scouting Bureau has developed unique program for training professional baseball scouts and assisting players in attaining professional baseball opportunities.

This means that all licensees are required to attend a four-day training in Pittsburgh, PA, or other site designated by Paramount Scouting Bureau. 

   You are also required to pay, in advance, a licensing and training fee. This fee includes your training expenses (not including your travel to and from the training), a radar gun, company paraphernalia and materials, lunches at training, and your hotel stay. The training program will include a thorough orientation of scouting and player evaluation methods, Paramount Scouting Bureau policies and procedures, successful prospecting, advertising methods, conducting and managing scouts and other personnel, and pay plans.

   You will experience, first hand, what is involved in being a successful scout who can proficiently evaluate talent and prepare reports for professional scouting directors and general managers. Competent individuals with extensive experience in scouting at the major league level and who have many years experience with Paramount Scouting Bureau will train you. Our training classes include classroom instruction in scouting and how to run your Paramount Scouting Bureau business, along with scouting live events so we can demonstrate scouting techniques and evaluate your scouting skills. Once you complete training, you will be ready to go back to your area and start conducting evaluation events.

   After you leave training, Paramount Scouting Bureau provides company support and constant communication to ensure the success of our licensees.  Paramount Scouting Bureau provides insurance coverage, web site services, administrative and other services necessary to conduct a successful scouting program, and on-going support and assistance to our Licensees.  Paramount Scouting Bureau also provides assistance to our Licensee's operation by providing a connection to professional organizations in independent, affiliate, major league and international baseball.

Income Potential

   Licensees receive commission on the showcase registration fees charged to showcase participants. Licensees also receive commission for any prospect signing a professional contract and commission on all advertising revenues, concessions, ticket sales, parking or other revenues streams generated by a Paramount Scouting Bureau event.

How to Apply
