Q: How many nights per week will my child be playing?

A:  Most teams try to keep the weeknight commitments to 3 per week at a maximum.  This may be a combination of 2 practices and 1 game, or vice versa.  You may play less than this, but typically, not more.

Q: How long does the season last?

A: Off Season practices could begin in January depending on Coach preference. These tend to be optional but participation is encouraged.   Regular season games, practices, and tournaments begin (weather permitting) in early to mid-April, and last through end of June.  District playoffs and State Tournaments take place in July.

Q: How many weekend commitments are there on travel teams?

A: Each team is guaranteed 3 tournaments throughout the season.  Many teams do elect to participate in an additional 4th tournament, at their own expense.  Teams may qualify for State Tournaments by winning berths at qualifying tournaments, or through regular season play.  This could add up to an additional 3 tournaments, depending on team decisions.  

Q: After registration fees, are there additional expenses for travel baseball?

A:  Yes.  Each family should plan to spend up to an additional $1000 per season.  This includes food and hotel stays for out of town tournaments, fees for additional tournaments, gate fees, winter/off-season training, and other expenses.  

Q: Why did Fee's for travel increase this year?

A: Like everything over the past couple years prices have gone up. For travel baseball specifically we have seen increases in Tournament fees, baseballs, uniforms and travel league fees.  

Q: My player is nervous about the tryouts how can I prepare him/her?

A: Tryout Prep Sessions are scheduled on 8/3, 8/10 and 8/17 to help players prepare and reduce the stress level the day(s) of the tryout.
