Travel Baseball
In the spring of 2008, the Crofton Athletic Council (CAC) will introduce
a new Travel Baseball concept for its county baseball teams. Teams will be
formed via the tryout process which will be held in early February. This is
in response to the requests of players and parents who are interested in
supplementing the regular county baseball schedule (usually 12-15 games)
with additional games and tournaments.
Registration deadline is January 31, 2008. You must be registered for
Travel Baseball to complete the tryout process.
There will be one 10U, one 12U, and as many 14U teams as needed. Everyone
signing up for 14U will play in this Travel league. At the 14U level, parent
and player interest will dictate the amount of pre and post season play each
team get involved with.
Participation on a travel team will require an additional commitment of
time and money on the part of those families who choose to participate. A
player, who tries out for a 10U & 12U travel team but is not selected, will
return to the pool of players within the Cal Ripken league.
The following is a sample
schedule and an estimate of the costs for a typical (12 player) travel team.
·
February – Travel teams formed and begin indoor workouts
$40.00 per player
·
April – Preseason tournament $40.00 per player
·
April – County season begins (no additional cost)
·
May – Memorial Day tournament $40.00 per player
·
June – Post season tournament $40.00 per player
·
July – Post season tournament $40.00 per player
Based on the estimate listed above, the additional cost for participation on a
travel team would be approximately $160.00. Participation in 4 or 5 tournaments
will result in 12-15 additional games. The above estimates are for illustration
only and will vary depending on the individual team and the number of
tournaments entered. These additional expenditures will be determined by the
consensus of the team and will be borne solely by the members of each team.
Volunteers are always welcome and needed. If you are interested in helping
out, please send an email to
countybase@croftonsports.com. All volunteers are required to complete a
background check. Coaches need to be certified via the county’s coaching
clinic.

learning experience for all. We look forward to seeing you on the ball
field.
