8U Travel Team

A few notes about 8U Travel Baseball:

1. Eligibility - The 8 year old or 8U (8 & under) travel team is for boys who are baseball age 8, birthdays between May 1, 1999 and April 30, 2000. Towamencin Travel teams are "Age Pure" meaning that the 8U team will be composed of players who are baseball age 8 unless there is not enough interest. Only then will the team be open to younger players.
2. This is competitive baseball with the focus on developing fundamental baseball skills.
3. We try to play in 3 tournaments a year (TYA is hosting the Cal Ripken Districts again this year for the 8U bracket).
4. There is a level of commitment that each boy and family needs to make to the travel program. We realize vacations and other events are scheduled over the summer, but in order for the program to be successful, the boys need to be committed to attending practices/games/tournaments.
5. There will be costs to each family for uniforms and tournament fees. These expenses are not picked up by TYA but rather each family.

Current tryout schedules are:

• May 7 @ Nash Elementary 6:00
• May 11 @ Nash Elementary 1:00
• May 14 @ Nash Elementary 6:00

You should make every attempt to have your son participate in at least two of the tryouts. Please dress in appropriate practice attire and bring a glove and cleats. Each boy will be evaluated on throwing, fielding, hitting, enthusiasm, and overall knowledge of the game.
