How does a young college age baseball player get the opportunity to try out for a FSL team?

The Florida State League is a minor league affiliated with Major League Baseball. As such, you don't try out for the FSL, you'd have to get signed by a major league team that has an FSL affiliate.

The Florida State League is a Class A Minor League. The teams are minor league teams for the major league clubs. For example: Minnesota has a team in Fort Myers, The Yankees have a team in Tampa, etc.
The players are signed by the major league teams. The Florida State League is part of the Major League Farm System.
Most of the cities that have teams will have tryouts. Players go to the tryouts and hope that a major league official or scout will be impressed and sign them.
Once that player is signed... he may be assigned to any of the parent club's minor league teams, or even to the major league team... but that's not likely.
If you are playing college ball, the best bet is for your coach to get someone who is associated with a major league team to come and watch you play. If you're good... they'll find you!

Find the league you want to join, see who the commissioner is, ask for the owners/coaches of the team, and ask them for a try-out.
