Traveling vs House Baseball
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Traveling Baseball is for players and families that would like to travel to other communities to play baseball at a higher level than the House Baseball program. Coaches will determine where players will be positioned defensively and placed in the lineups to provide the greatest strength to the team.

There is more commitment required from players and parents for games and practices. The season with ARAA consists of regular season games, a league playoff, and at least 3 weekend tournaments that may run Friday - Sunday. Regular season games are usually played Monday - Thursday.

Most of tournaments and travel are additional costs to the regular season. The players are divided into 2 classes: A and B. The A Class competes at the highest possible level of play. Players selected to play at the A level are focused, have good attitudes, already have good knowledge of the game, and can compete with other players at this level.

Players selected to play the the B Level should also be focused and have good attitudes, but could benefit by not playing at the A level at this time.

House Baseball programs provide introductory level education about the sport. Participants learn fundamental skills and experience play in a recreational atmosphere.

The season consists of 12 - 16 games, plus an end of the year weekend playoffs. The regular season games are usually played Monday - Thursday.

The teams are created to try to makeup evenly matched teams.

In most cases the teams will play with your own city teams, but some games will be scheduled with neighboring communities to provide a greater variety of opponents.
