Would You Like To Participate In Competitive Baseball?

TRYOUTS FOR 2012 TP ‘REP’ TEAMS COMMENCE IN SEPTEMBER

As a TP – Christie Pits or Annette baseball house league player/parent, you are invited to consider trying out for a “Rep” team in your age category.

You should consider this option if you wish to spend more time playing baseball and playing in a more competitive setting and developing your baseball thinking and playing skills beyond the house league and “select” levels. The social aspect is also great.

The “Rep” program is operated by NCCP qualified and experienced coaches and volunteers who use state of the art training exercises to maximize a balance of fun and skill development.

The TP “Rep” program begins with tryouts in mid to late September and continue until a team is chosen. Everyone is welcome to try out. Players will be chosen based on attitude, behaviour, parental committment, ability and potential for improvement.

 Time requirements will include 3 to 4 games and/or practices per week (on average) once the outdoor game/practice season starts in late April or early May. This compares to 1-2 games/practices per week for house league teams and 3-4 games/practices for “select” teams whose players continue to play house league.

“Rep” players may continue to play house league, but must make “rep” the priority. Additionally, “Rep” teams also participate in 3-4 tournaments. Some teams will practice indoors once per week or so during the winter. All “Rep” parents will be expected to see that their child attends all practices and games and volunteer in some meaningful capacity on an ongoing basis.

This is not just an opportunity for boys. Girls are also welcome to try out too.

The “Rep” program is completely self supporting. Thus, it requires a registration fee that will be in the approximate range of $550 – $650. Players will not be refused for financial reasons.

Here are some of the “Rep” tryout dates that have been finalized so far:

• Saturday, September 17:  10:00 a.m. at Christie Pits Diamond # 2

• Sunday, September 18: 11:15 a.m. at Ravina Park
