Evaluations & Tryouts

Placements are determined through a comprehensive evaluation process. We look for technical skill, but prioritize energy, coachability, and the 'Rebel' mindset over raw talent alone.

Team Structures

Roster

Ages 7-12 Teams will carry 10-12 players. The roster will be constructed in a way to maximize playing time for all. Playing time does mean playing to win, as winning gives more opportunity for more repetitions. Ages 13-18 Roster size will depend on if we have pitchers only, that could move the roster number up to 14-15 players.

Classifications

Teams will be compete at the level of competition they are ready for. First year in age groups will compete as a C class team and push to move to B by the second year team. Teams that need to be challenged in A class are encouraged to do so, but understand that will come with more expenses for families due to low numbers of these class teams in the surrounding area.
