A: The coach will determine practice day(s) and times but probably 2 days a week until games start. Practices/games will start after spring break.
T-ball, Rookie, and Minors typically play 2 games a week . Monday-Friday games start at 5:30pm. Saturday/Sunday games will vary from 8am-5:30pm. Schedules will be released sometime around Spring Break.
JBO games for grade 5th-8th will take place during the week and involve travel out of town. Games typically start between 5:30-6pm. Weekend games and tournaments are possible but not normal.
Every player in 3rd-8th grade will need to be evaluated in during tryouts. More info will be sent to those who register by Feb 1st.
Players in K-2nd grade will NOT have a tryout, but will be placed on teams by the league (the default is to place them on teams with kids from their elementary school, though that is not always the case).
