Frequently Asked Questions

Q: At what age can my child tryout for a Team?
A: If your child is currently baseball age 8 and is rostered on a Minors-AA team he/she can tryout.

Q: What does a "tryout" look like?
A: Tryouts differ from coach to coach but each player is run through a number of stations to "rate" the players skills in throwing, hitting, fielding and understanding of the game. Coaches are looking for players who are good athletes but also take direction well.

Q: What should my child wear/bring to tryouts?
A: They should come in their uniform, wear a cup, and bring all their own baseball equipment. They will be running so please bring water. Players will be expected to show up 15 minutes before tryouts start and get out on the field to warm up.

Q: Will there be travel involved?
A: Your team may travel, but within driving distance of 1 or 2 hours. They may be for scrimmage or tournament games. If they should make districts and further you may travel out of state.
