Dear Parents and Players,
We hope that your son/daughter has been enjoying the first few weeks of the 2012 Baseball Season. Now that the season is underway, we would like to inform you of a great opportunity for players who would like to take their baseball experience to the next level. Every year MYBA runs a summer All Star program that is intended to be a more competitive experience for players. Teams are formed based on age and skill level. The “A” traveling teams will be engaged in tournament play against teams from other towns around the state. In addition to the “A” teams, MYBA strives to assemble 3 “B” all-star teams at the same age groups (subject to sufficient numbers and coach candidates) who would participate in a summer invitational league.
This is a great program for those players interested in improving their skills, learning the game of baseball and building team relationships. Teams will conduct weekly practices, work on fundamentals, and have fun in a competitive environment. If you think the All Star Program is something that your son/daughter would be interested in, the first step is to try out. The league will be holding tryouts on the following dates:
12 Year Old Tryouts:
Saturday 5/12 8-10am Martinangelo Field
Saturday 5/19 10-11:30am Martinangelo Field
Sunday 5/20 4-6pm Langelier Field
11 Year Old Tryouts:
Saturday 5/12 10-11:30am Martinangelo Field
Saturday 5/19 8-10am Martinangelo Field
Sunday 5/20 4-6pm Martinangelo Field
10 Year Old Tryouts:
Saturday 5/12 8-10am Langelier Field
Saturday 5/19 10-11:30am Langelier Field
Sunday 5/20 9-11am Langelier Field
9 Year Old Tryouts:
Saturday 5/12 10-11:30am Langelier Field
Saturday 5/19 8-10am Langelier Field
Sunday 5/20 9-11am Martinangelo Field
We recommend that your son/daughter attend both days so the evaluators can get a good sampling of each player’s skill level. Even if you are not 100% sure you want to commit, we recommend attending the tryouts anyway. The tryouts are free and are basically three – two-hour practices that will benefit the player even if he/she decides not to continue with the All Star program. It is also a great opportunity for you, as a parent, to get a better understanding of the program, the level of play and what the commitment requirements are.
