UPDATED (2/18/16) Details regarding the tryouts are below:
Background:
Each middle school will conduct a 3 session tryout that will span across 2 weeks (weather and facility permitting.)
The 3 sessions will be specific in focus, and will for the most part, have the look and feel of our local high school tryouts. The 3 focus areas will be: hitting, pitchers and catchers, catchers and defense.
For the hitting session, a player will only need his/her batting gear. For those that don't have their own equipment, please reply back to this email with your name and middle school so that we can arrange to have something available for you.
For the pitchers and catchers session, only those kids who want to be evaluated as a pitcher and/or catcher should attend. Pitchers will need his/her glove. Catchers will need their gear. For those that don't have their own equipment, please reply back to this email with your name and middle school so that we can arrange to have something available for you.
For the catchers and defense session, a player will need his/her glove. Catchers will need their gear. For those that don't have their own equipment, please reply back to this email with your name and middle school so that we can arrange to have something available for you.
NOTE: A "special" session may be scheduled which combines multiple elements of the above focus sessions if/when tryout numbers allow for multiple objectives to be accomplished during a specific timeslot.
Logistics
Players should be dropped off at the respective tryout facility 15-20 minutes prior to the actual start time to help facilitate registration.
Since tryouts will be indoors, no cleats.
Parents are advised to drop their child off. There are no real waiting/viewing areas at the facilities we will be using. Plus, we want to avoid any added pressure on the kids during this process.
