Can I request games are played at a field close to where we live?

 

Unfortunately no.  There are many factors to consider when allocating fields such as ensuring the correct size for the age/division of the players, access to electricity for Rookieball teams, lit diamonds for late evening games, mounds for older teams etc.

 

What if my son/daughter has never played baseball before?

 

We welcome all players regardless of skill level to our House League program!  A player assessment prior to the season allows us to build teams with a balance of new and experienced players.  Our focus in House League is to ensure the players are having fun while building on their baseball skills

 

Will there be tryouts?

 

No.  Our House League program does not have tryouts but we will be conducting player assessments prior to the start of the season in order to build balanced teams
