Q: Can my child play up to the next division?

A: If a 6-year old child has played at least 1 year of tee ball, they may attend a try up to play in Rookies. Likewise, an 8-year old child may attend a try up to try up for Minors.

Q: What do tryouts consist of:

A: Tryouts for Majors and Minors typically consists of hitting, catching fly balls, and fielding grounders and is only meant to give the coaches an idea of the child's ability. It is not a test.

Q. Who must attend tryouts?

A: There are tryouts for the Minors division and above. For Minors, we require attending a minimum of 1 tryout session so that the coaches may evaluate the player with the idea that going into the draft, all teams will be relatively even. You must attend a minimum of 2 tryout sessions to be eligible for the Majors draft. However, we recommend attending all tryout sessions for maximum exposure and player evaluation. ALL PLAYERS WILL BE ASSIGNED A TEAM. There are no tryouts for the Rookies and Tee ball divisions.

Q. When are tryouts?

A: Tryouts for Intermediate, Majors, and Minors are typically in mid-February. Check the league calendar for specific dates, times, and location.

Q: What if I can't make tryouts?

A: You should contact the Player Agent at [email protected] as it could affect eligibility for the Intermediate & Majors divisions, but your player will still be assigned a team in a division.

Q: What if I would like to help coach a team? What if I would like to volunteer? How can I get involved?
