2026 Tryout Process & Schedule
Attached you will find this year's tryout process and schedule. This year's tryouts will consist of a multi-phase approach designed to give our evaluators the best opportunity to assess each player and make well-informed decisions when forming teams. Our team selection process also incorporates information and feedback gathered from coaches from the previous season.
Phase 1 will be similar to years past. Each player will be evaluated in the following areas:
- Hitting
- Infield
- Outfield
- Throwing
- Running
The schedule for the Phase 1 evaluations is attached.
Phase 2 – Callback Games/Practices
Certain players may be asked to attend an additional workout on September 12th or 13th. Not every player will be asked to attend a callback. The purpose of these additional workouts is to give evaluators a deeper look at certain players and help us make the most informed decisions possible when forming teams
The specific days and times for these additional workouts will be communicated after the initial evaluation process on August 28th or 30th.
Each age group may approach the callback process differently based on the number of players and specific circumstances within that age group.
If you have questions about the tryout process, or you have a conflict, please direct them to your Age Group Coordinator.
