Tryouts are at Bartholomew Sports Park (BSP)
Elk Grove Babe Ruth will be conducting one more tryout before our draft and we would like your player to attend if possible. It will be at Bartholomew Sports Park at 6:30 pm on Thursday of this week, Feb 26. The draft will be on Sunday.
Tryouts are a way to allocate players in a fair manner in the interest of parity. No players will be cut as a result, but if we perceive a safety risk, the player's parents will be advised. Wear comfortable baseball clothing and bring a fielder's glove, helmet, and bat. If you are lacking any equipment, please reach out and we will see what we can do for you.
We recommend that you show up 20-30 minutes before the report time to check in and stretch.
Players who do not tryout can still be drafted onto a team, but they will be what we call a "hat pick", basically assigned randomly to a team. The fewer hat picks we have, the more likely we will be able to spread out talent in a fair manner. Protected players do not need to try out, but if they would like to help out at tryouts, we welcome their participation. Supplemental players should try out if their schedule allows it.
