2016 All-Stars Tryout Information

**Please check for changes that occur to the schedules due to weather related rescheduling/field changes**

The tryouts for Northside All-Stars teams are coming up!  Please read the following information carefully to determine the team(s) your player may be eligible to try out for and the dates for sandlot practices and tryouts.


It has been brought to our attention that some families are confused as to what divisions their children are eligible to play for All-Stars.  Our organization sets May 1st as the age cutoff for all our tournament/All-Star teams. 

Your child's age, according to league baseball is however old they were on May 1st, 2016

Example: 

  • If your child was born on May 7, 2009, then his/her league age would be 6 (even though today s/he is actually 7).
  • If your child was born on October 5, 2005, then his/her league age would be 10.
Children may "Play Up", meaning that a child who is league age 9 may try out for the 9u and 10u teams.  The Board strongly recommends that players who are trying out for a team that is older than their age group also try out for their own age group.  If a child tries out for an older age group and does not make the team, s/he is NOT automatically considered for the younger team, too, unless explicity trying out. 



Please contact the coach of each team you are interested in being considered for. Players may try out for multiple age groups or may "play up" to an older age group's team.  Players must show up for age group tryouts for all teams they wish to be considered for, which may mean multiple tryouts.
