ST. JUDE ATHLETIC BOOSTERS - BASEBALL

Baseball News

Note: There was an error in the Sunday bulletin that incorrectly listed the age levels for the new WBC league and the upcoming baseball tryouts. Below is the correct information.

Age groups will be similar to Knothole for the first year but will now be referred to by age (09U or "9 and under", 10U, 11U, etc.) instead of class (A, B, C, D, etc.) designation.  The planned separation is currently as follows:

5U                   Instructional (meaning T Ball) – Must turn 4 by January 1st, 2009
6U &7U          Coach Pitch
8U                   D Combo (Can have 7 year olds if they want to move up)
9U                   D Select (Can have 8 year olds if they make the team)
10U                 C Select
11U                 C Select
10 &11U         C Combo
13U                 B Select (Can have 12 year olds if they make the team)
12 &13U         B Combo
15U                 A Select (14 and 15 year olds - will be open to 9th graders as well)

Birthday cutoff will remain the same as Knothole - May 1st.

Tryouts

Sunday, Sept 7th and Sunday, Sept 21st

8 and 9 year olds (8 & 9U - formerly known as D level) 1:00 – 3:00 PM
10 and 11 year olds (10& 11U - formerly known as C level) 3:00 – 5:00 PM
12 and 13 year olds (12 & 13U - formerly known as B level) 5:00 – 7:00 PM

* 09U = 9 and under, 11U = 11 and under, etc.

** Birthday cutoff will remain the same as Knothole - May 1st.  So in order to play 11U you must not turn 12 before May 1st, 2009.

*** Anyone wishing to be considered for the high team at any level must attend both tryouts.
