What if my player can't make tryouts?
All players will make a team regardless of if they tryout or not. Tryouts are used to create a competitive allocation of players to teams so that our season is as balanced as possible.
What should my player bring to tryouts?
It is helpful if players have their own glove and bat. However we do have extras if needed. Kids grow fast so don't spend a ton of money on materials your kids will outgrow.
What should they wear?
Kids need to wear tennis shoes or turf baseball/softball shoes. NO CLEATS. They do not need to wear baseball/softball pants. (We would suggest waiting to purchase any clothing until you hear from the coach about uniforms). Tryouts should take about 15 minutes once your player enters the field with the group trying out.
Where should we check in?
Please park then register in the front lobby of Mike’s Field House. There will most likely be a line. Jump in line, we will process your player and they you can walk to the assigned area for their tryout. Parents are welcome to watch as long as they are not a distraction.
What do I need to bring?
Please be ready to verify your players birthday so we can confirm their player age. To see your players Little League age you can check it online in our website. Please bring a completed Medical Release Form it will save you time. You can print one from our website. We will have paper forms available as well. All players must turn a medical release form before they are allowed to tryout. You do NOT need to bring a Birth Certificate, Physical from a doctor or a School Verification Form. If your player makes an ALL STAR team at the end of the season then a Birth Certificate and School Verification Form will be required at that time.
How will tryouts work?
Your player will be asked to show skills of throwing, catching, hitting, fielding and possibly pitching. Coaches take notes on players to help them choose when it comes to the Draft. This could be a stressful time for your player as for many kids it's their first time "trying out" for anything. As stated above ALL kids will make a team. Encourage your player to focus on the things they can control like hustle, attitude and following directions.
What happens after tryouts?
Coaches will meet the following week and select teams during a Draft Night. Players will then be contacted the week of March 26th - April 1 by their coaches to be told the practice schedule for the first 3 weeks of the season. Practices begin the week of April 3rd. Games begin the week of April 24th and the game schedule will be released the week of April 10th.
