(jump to SOFTBALL information)

 
As travel team sports continually evolve, HPBA is trying to advance our program accordingly.  As such, we will be advancing our travel team try-outs as follows (please note age is as of May 1, 2022)...
 
2022 10U, 11U and 12U Purple  and Grey Teams
We will host THREE try-out dates/times as outline below.  Players only need to attend ONE of the three dates to be considered for their respective team.  All three dates/times will be hosted outdoors at Hamlin Park.
 
-  Thursday, July 22 from 4:00-6:00
-  Wednesday, July 28 from 4:00-7:00
-  Monday, August 2 from 4:00-7:00
 
The intent of this date range is to be within close proximity to our season but provide alternative to those who may be travelling during this period.  It is our goal to have these team selections complete and finalized by August 8.

2022 13U and 14U Teams
Try-outs for these team will take place in mid-to-late August, after our current 12U/13U seasons are complete.  The intent of this timing is to allow these 2021 teams to properly complete their seasons before subsequent try-outs and team selections are considered.  
 
Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
 
2022 8U and 9U Teams
Try-outs for these teams will take place in mid-to-late January.  This timing is adjacent to the end of our 2022 House Baseball registration process.  The intent is to allow returning and new players to the program complete their registration in order to try-out for these teams.  
 
Stay tuned for more details regarding the dates, times, locations and format of these teams.
 
As a few general HPBA Travel Baseball reminders...
-  All returning 2021 House and Travel Baseball players are able to try-out for our 10U, 11U and 12U PURPLE Travel Teams.  New players to the league are not eligible for the PURPLE teams.
-  All returning 2021 players AND any NEW players are able to try-out for our 10U, 11U and 12U GREY Travel Teams.  Hence, extended the try-out invitation to non-HPBA is allowed for the GREY teams.
-  Players may only try-out for their age appropriate team (age as of May 1, 2022).  We do not allow play-ups within the Travel Baseball Program.
 
These and other items will be discussed during our Travel Baseball Program Q&A meeting on July 13.
