The season starts for the U10-U15 players right after the tryouts this year. Since tryouts are April 3-5 and 7, and the schedule meeting follows them, you should expect practices and schedules the following week. The typical regular season runs through early July.
Players and parents can expect to play approximately 14-16 league games, plus scrimmages, and 3 to 4 weekend tournaments. Practice schedules are determined by the individual coaches, but expect that there will be 2-4 practices per week leading up to the start of the regular season. Teams that make a State tournament may play into late July. Players in the 16+ league will receive their schedules as soon as they are available.
Knowing each player's height is important in the tryout process as it is used to arrange the order for the hitting trials. For the two hitting trial sessions we will go in height order and reverse the order for the second session; therefore, if the first round of hitting is set to go tallest to shortest, then the second round will go shortest to tallest and vice versa. This information should help you avoid having to stand around for two hours waiting, but I must warn you to allow adequate time just in case. There are many medium height players who will be in the middle of the pack for each round, so do not miss your call.
Tryouts will be held at the Rosemount Dome. Please check the schedule since age group assignments will vary. The exact dates and times for your son's age group will be posted on this website.
We look forward to another successful season. See you in the Spring!
