Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you doing this?

A deeper program with kids varying in skill sets will allow our athletes to grow at their own pace. The more 'intense' athlete will have the ability to play competitive tournaments while the athlete that wants a 'travel baseball' environment or "Rec Plus" can play on the League Team.

What if I'm already on either the BlueBirds or RedBirds now?

If you choose to stay in our program in the Spring, this means you automatically have a spot. You will still need to RSVP and attend the tryout. If you choose to play somewhere else or don't think this is right for your family, no hard feelings.

Then why host a tryout?

The 'tryout' is to assess the interest level of the athletes that are currently on each team but we also want to provide four other athletes with the ability to make the program.

Is the tryout open to anyone?

Yes. As long as you meet the 9u age requirement, we encourage you and your friends to come and tryout. Please keep in mind that we only have four open spots available.

What does the Winter schedule look like?

We will plan to come together late January to have winter workouts together. Our hope is to practice 1-2 days a week from late January to early March.

What happens in the Spring?

At the end of Winter workouts, we will survey the parents to gauge interest on whether they want to commit to a league team or more intense tournament team.

What will practices be like in the Spring?

We will work to practice together as a large group. This will give us the flexibility to do more dynamic practices while allowing all levels of athletes to work and grow together.

Where will your practices and games be played at?

We plan to mainly practice and play out of Byron Johnson and Millstone. With some practices on fields throughout Hamilton.

Can my son play on both the league team and tournament team?

Yes. We anticipate that several players will want to play on both teams. We also want to bring more athletes to tournaments so we're not short on pitching and athletes can have a slightly more flexible schedule.

What is the name of this program?

We are still working to come up with the right name that fits this unique group of ball players. We have several ideas but don't want to rush to make a decision.

What is the cost associated with this?

Our focus is to keep costs as low as possible. We do not have a figure yet on what the fees will be but we assure you that we will be transparent with where the fees go.
