We
are pleased to announce that TYBA intends to field two new baseball
teams for the fall: a 7U travel team and an 8U travel team.
The
7U will be coached by Seth Laver and Kevin Pelegrin. To be eligible to
participate, your child must have been born between 5/1/2012 and
4/30/2013.
The 8U will be coached by Zack Aria and Gio Leone. To be eligible to participate, your child must have been born between DOB 5/1/2011 and 4/30/2012.
There are 12 roster spaces available for each team.
We are working through the details, but here is what to expect for the fall season.
Tryouts (8/3 and 8/4 from 5-6pm)
Tryouts
will be held on August 3 and August 4 from 5 to 6 PM at our league's
FDR Fields. The 7u Tryouts will be held on Field 1 and the 8u Tryouts
will be held on Field 2.
To
be eligible for the team, your child must attend one tryout only. If
you are interested in having your child participate but are unable to
attend either session, please complete the registration form and select
the option stating that your child is unable to attend the two tryout
sessions.
Expect the tryout will take the full hour.
Please, bring a bat and glove. Cleats are encouraged.
Due to applicable City regulations, only one adult per child may attend and every adult MUST WEAR A MASK.
We
will contact all participants by August 11 regarding final rosters
(which are subject to change in later seasons). Please register for the
tryout by clicking here or by visiting our website and clicking on the "Travel Programs" tab.
Season Schedule
We anticipate 1-2 games/week, likely on weekday evenings beginning after Labor Day through Halloween, or so.
Coaches will conduct one to two practices a week at FDR.
In addition to the weekday schedule, we will likely enter at least one weekend tournament which calls for 2-3 games.
Expected Costs
The
expected cost for the fall season is $250/player. If your child is
selected to either team and you are unable to afford this fee,
scholarships are available.
