Parents can expect to pay an additional amount in addition to the regular registration fees once your player is placed on a travel team. This amount, approximately $120.00, covers such items as Team fees, Tournament fees and Team expenses.  Players not making a travel team will automatically be placed in our very competitive house league and still should attend the House Evaluations on April 19th 2008.  Players not attending the House Evaluations will still be placed on a team.  Players who try out and make a travel team will be expected to purchase their own baseball pants.  Travel team baseball pants are available for purchase when you register.     For more information on these leagues call  Skip Swanson: 241-7915    

The Traveling Baseball program provides intensive skill development and a high level of competition. The program offers opportunities to develop confidence and teamwork while competing with teams representing other area communities.  

The typical season runs from April through the end of July. Players and parents can expect to play approximately 16 league games and three to four weekend tournaments, with 1-2 practices per week.

Registration is conducted in February and March.  Participants also should plan for additional expenses of at least $100 during the season for local and regional tournaments and other miscellaneous expenses.

Tryouts are conducted in March. A non-refundable tryout fee of $10 will be collected during registration.  Team selection is on a competitive basis, as players are evaluated in comparison with others in their age group. Eligibility is based on the participant’s age as of April 30.  Tryout evaluations measure performance in hitting, infield, and outfield skills. Players not selected for a traveling team are placed in the Elk River in-house program.  The player will have to get evaluated at the House Evaluations.

Elk River Travel Baseball Plays in the Gopher State League (MYAS) for its 10U – 15U age groups.  Information on rules, equipment requirements, league schedules, and standings can be found on the www.myas.org web site. Players 16 and over will play in VFW, Senior Babe Ruth, and Legion baseball leagues.
