REGARDING: 9U Local Travel Team for summer of 2018 (Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League)
ELIGIBILITY: Player must be born after 4/30/08
Dear Parents,
We are excited to be organizing a pilot 9U local travel baseball team for this summer. The Program strives to provide players seeking a higher level of competition an opportunity to play against some of the top local competition in the Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League, while focusing on developing strong fundamentals, teamwork, and a sense of community at a reasonable cost. Our view is that Brewster players should not have to leave the community to join a private club and spend thousands of dollars to get a top tier baseball experience and reach their maximum potential.
Tryouts for the 9U team will be held on Saturday May 12 at 5PM atMarkel Park. This team is for those interested in a competitive atmosphere that will remain focused on fun and baseball fundamentals. Players selected for the team will travel to other communities for games as part of the GHVBL.
Below is the information that we have at this time. We are presenting this to you so that you can determine if this is something your child and you as a parent would like to pursue. If you are interested, you can contact Michael Subin, at Msubin26@gmail.com to register and be placed on the tryout list. You will then be placed on the e-mail list and be kept up to date leading up to tryouts. Tryout dates are listed below further in this letter.
COMMITMENT: Being on a youth local travel team requires a commitment of both athlete and parent/family. This will include a commitment of both time and money. The commitment to this team is more than to a recreational team and carries higher expectations. Players and parents must also be committed to skill development as the team will be competing against teams selected from other communities.
DATES: Practice dates and game schedules are yet to be determined. As summer approaches, practice days may increase. The team will play a minimum of 12 games.
TRYOUTS: The tryout date is May 12th at 5pm at Markel Field.Players will be evaluated on all baseball skills such as hitting, throwing, fielding, base running, as well as behavior and coach-ability. Players are encouraged to register at least one week before the first tryout date to allow the Tryout Coordinators an opportunity to plan and organize the tryouts. The tryout will be coordinated and run by an independent evaluator.
COMPETITIVENESS: This team will be competitive in nature and thus will be playing to win games. However, at this age there will be a significant emphasis placed on fun and skill development but there are no guarantees on playing time or positions played. Playing time, batting order, fielding positions, etc will be at the sole discretion of coaches.
EXPECTATIONS: Those players selected for the team will be expected to make practices and attend the games and playoffs. Please consider these expectations before attending the tryout. If a player is unable to attend they must notify the coaches well in advance so coaches can ensure they can field a team.
FUTURE: This team will likely move forward each year with a similar format. Those that cannot make the commitment this year or do not make the team are welcome to try-out in subsequent years.
WHAT NEXT AND HOW TO SIGN-UP: Those interested in having their child tryout for the team must e-mail, text or call Coach Subin or Coach Anderson to reserve a spot at the try-outs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
We look forward to working with the kids and having lots of fun.
Sincerely,
Michael Subin & Richie Anderson
