All registered players must be at tryouts for their age group at the time listed above. Do not be late, you may not be allowed in after the process begins. The tryouts will be held at the locations noted above. Registration/Check-In will take place at Castle Field main entrance. Parents will only be allowed to view from the bleachers and may not coach or instruct their child. Any interference from a parent and they may be removed from tryouts. It is very important to note that tryouts will begin at the specified times. The kids must have registration and warm-ups done before the time indicated for their age group, so it would be suggested to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your start time.

We ask that all players trying out do not wear their A/R Travel baseball cap or jersey to tryouts or items with their name.

Each player will only be allowed to try out for one age group for next year's season. Parents must indicate on the registration form the age group their child is requesting to play for. To maintain consistency and give each player the same opportunity, there will only be one try out for each age group. The tryouts will consist of 5-6 stations. Players will be run through each station and graded by members of the Anoka High School Baseball coaching staff. Their scores will be recorded and forwarded to the Traveling Director for discussion with the Traveling Committee.

If you have any questions about the levels of play or questions about the tryout process, please contact the Traveling Director (Don Gonse @ dgonse@nparallel.com) .

If you are interested in coaching an A/R Baseball Traveling team, please fill out the A/R Coach Application Form and return to the Traveling Director by July 20th. No current coaches, or applicants, will be allowed on the field observing during tryouts.

For all coaches interested in a traveling baseball head coaching position for the 2019 baseball season, all applications need to be completed and returned to Don Gonse at dgonse@nparallel.com by July 20, 2018. The process for tryouts will be slightly changed this year to include call backs for the 10U players, so coaches for the 10U traveling teams will be selected prior to tryouts this year.
