The only baseball players exempt from tryouts are 13U players, returning Majors Boys League Age 12 that were on a Majors team as 11s in Spring of 2019 as they will remain on the same team for Spring 2020.
Additionally, league age 4, 5 & 6 year old players slated for the Farm & Tee Divisions are exempt from tryouts. Baseball league age 6 year olds are encouraged to tryout if they would like to be considered for the Minor C, coach pitch division. Otherwise, they will be allocated to the Farm division, which is played on a tee ball field with coach pitch from a knee. 1st season League age 4 & 5 will be allocated to Tee-ball division and 2nd season players will be eligible for the Farm division.
“Playing up a division”: If your baseball player has exceptionally advanced skills and wants to play in a division higher than where he would normally play for his age, he will need to tryout twice. Once with the older age group and then again with his actual age group. For example, a league age 10 year old wanting to play in the Majors division (typically comprised of 11s & 12s) would need to tryout with the 11 year olds AND the 10 year olds. A league age 7 wanting to play Minor B, must tryout with 7 year olds and also with the 9 year olds. No exceptions.
