8U Tournament Team Tryouts
Chris
Guyton will be managing a rising 8U Northside Tournament Team for
Machine pitch (players born 5/1/06 or later living within Northside’s
league boundaries are eligible for consideration).
The team
will focus on skill development and having fun. The team will normally
get together just once a week on Sundays for either practice or game.
The cost for the team (if any) will be determined at a later date based
on actual number of games and uniform costs. Activities won’t conflict
with regular Northside Fall league play and players are encouraged to
sign up for Northside’s fall league in addition to being part of this
tournament team; Northside’s regular Fall registration is available
now.
If interested in being considered for the 8U Northside Tournament Team, contact Chris Guyton at chris.guyton@gmail.com and/or attend the first gathering on Friday August 22nd
from 6PM-7:30PM at Carson Raymond Field. The fall experience will run
each Sunday from August 31st through end of October. Chris will let
folks know who made the team prior to practice on August 31st.
