***PLEASE NOTE***
• These travel teams will participate in spring travel league games and summer tournaments as well as offseason workouts.
• A second team may be added at an age level if sufficient interest/assistance exists.
• These are open tryouts for players and families who want to be part of a program that stresses teamwork, family, sportsmanship, and fundamentals. Please bring your gear (mitt, cleats, etc.) and a positive attitude to the tryout.
• These are competitive teams with limited rosters and not every player who tries out will be selected for a team. Players will be selected by the coaches based upon their play during the most recent season, the tryout, and the player’s ability to be a good teammate.
• Playing time and positions for these travel teams are at the sole discretion of the coaches.
• 2019 travel players (8U-12U) must be registered for and play in Central Amherst's 2019 house league.
• There is an additional cost beyond house league fees to participate on travel teams.
• Players should attend only one tryout date. If your child would like to try out for the team, but cannot make either of the dates listed above, please contact the appropriate coach in order to make other arrangements.
REGARDING WILLIAMSPORT "ALL STAR" TEAMS:
Central Amherst's travel teams are separate and distinct from our Williamsport "All Star" teams. Tryouts for the Williamsport "All Star" teams are held prior to the Little League District Tournament in June. Selection to the travel team does not guarantee selection to the Williamsport "All Star" team and vice versa. Williamsport "All Star" team schedules take priority over travel team schedules. If our Williamsport "All Star" teams advance, please be aware that that may affect travel team scheduling. In addition, please note that our travel teams comply with the standard April 30 birthdate cutoff, while Williamsport "All Star" teams comply with the birthdate cutoffs and age ranges established by Little League (April 30 cutoff for those born in 2005 and earlier; August 31 cutoff for those born in 2006 or later).
