Tryouts

What if it Rains?

Camps and Tryouts WILL be conducted in a light rain. If in doubt, check the homepage or call our Hotline at (650)568-1044.

Tryouts are required for all players who register for Mustang, Bronco, Pony, and Colt Divisions, and the Pinto-2 Club Team. There are no Tryouts for Shetland and Pinto players (teams are assembled by the Division Director).

The purpose of tryouts is to evaluate players skills so that we can:

  • ensure that the player is signed up for the appropriate division;
  • form balanced teams;
  • qualify players who have signed up to play on a Club Team.
Tryouts are not for the purpose of “cutting” any players, except for Club Teams and at the Colt (16U) and Palomino (19U) levels.

Tryouts consist of each player doing a short timed run, hitting 5-7 balls pitched from a pitching machine, fielding 3-4 fly balls and making a throw to second base, and fielding 3-5 ground balls at shortstop and making a throw to first base. Mustang Division tryouts also include an optional station where players throw 5-10 pitches to an adult catcher. The total tryout process takes about an hour. Please bring a hat and a glove and wear appropriate baseball attire. Unless the league informs you otherwise, you may assume that your child will play in the division that you request on your application. In some cases, based on tryout results, safety considerations, or available roster openings, the League will call you to suggest an alternate placement for your child.
