FAQ's
WHEN ARE TRYOUTS?
We typically hold our tryouts in mid July for the upcoming Fall and following Spring/Summer seasons. Unlike other programs, we don’t differentiate fall from spring/summer. Instead we believe in development year round and therefore hold one tryout for our year round program.
WHERE ARE TEAM PRACTICES HELD?
Our North Teams practice at The Ripken Experience in Aberdeen, MD throughout the fall, spring, and summer months. During the winter, these teams practice at the CR Sports Zone in Joppa, MD. Our South Teams, will be practicing at Notre Dame of Maryland University during the fall, spring, and summer months.
WHAT TIME ARE TEAM PRACTICES HELD?
We run two time blocks. Typically teams practice either 6-7:30/8 or 7-8:30/9. Older high school aged teams tend to go later with our younger guys practicing earlier. Times vary in the winter and depend on indoor facility availability. Times may also be adjusted to accomodate daylight during the later fall season and early spring season.
WHAT AGE GROUPS DO YOU OFFER?
We typically offer teams for age groups 9u-17/18u. Each year is a little different based on interest.
DO YOU OFFER A PAYMENT PLAN?
Yes we offer a few payment plans to assist our families. Our plans can be found under our About Us, Financial Commitment section.
IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TEAMS IN AN AGE GROUP, HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TEAM TO TRYOUT FOR?
For age groups with multiple teams, we will place players according to needs of the specific team. We DO NOT have “A” or “B” teams. We strive to make all our teams as competitive as possible.
WHY THE INCREASED COST AS YOU GET OLDER?
The increased costs as you get older is a direct reflection of the costs for older age group tournaments/events and rental of a bigger field. Most events at the high school age are twice as much money as events for 12u and younger.
WHAT IF I CAN’T PLAY FALL BALL DUE TO PLAYING ANOTHER SPORT?
No problem! We encourage playing multiple sports so if you are unable to participate in our fall program or attend workouts throughout the winter that is okay and your player fee will be adjusted accordingly.
