Travel Programs
Travel baseball is a more competitive program against other towns. All travel players must be registered for a recreation program in order to qualify for a travel roster spot. Rosters are capped at 12 players. If more than 12 are registered and there are not enough players to form 2 teams within an age group, a mandatory evaluation will be held and the top 12 rated will be assigned to a roster. Players unable to secure a roster spot will be refunded all travel registration fees. The divisions are set by birthdate not grade level (Ex: 10U consists of a player whose birthday is between 9/1/2012 - 8/31/2013).
8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U
