Initially, all Aces Baseball tryouts are open tryouts. This means any player can attend the open tryout sessions.

Once the open tryouts are complete, the age group coaches may decide to hold individual or invitation-only tryouts to finalize their rosters.  The actual tryout workouts vary by team, but are designed to provide the coaches with an opportunity to evaluate the player's hitting, fielding, speed, and pitching abilities.  Coaches are looking for the players that build the best team possible and not necessarily the best individuals.

11. How much of a time commitment is it to play on an Aces Baseball travel team?

Our coaches take pride in their ability to prepare teams for a lengthy and grueling regular season and tournament schedule. As such it requires year round focus and effort.  Programs vary from age group to age group and from coach to coach, but players should be expected to participate in fall and winter baseball related activities to build and develop baseball skills. Beginning in November, the indoor workout seasons begin. Players should expect multiple workout dates to continue to build and reinforce baseball skills. Once the tournament and regular seasons begin in early to late April, typically there will be 1-2 practices a week, 1-2 weeknight games, and a weekend tournaments or doubleheaders. Tournaments usually entail a minimum of 3 games and up to 5-6 total depending on how far the team advances.

The Aces Baseball travel program also recognizes the importance of diversity within our players and encourages participation in other sports and activities throughout the year. While the travel baseball program can be intense, we believe in developing young adults to be active participants in their community and environment. Our coaches understand these challenges, and the challenges of parents to get their children the right exposure to all these activities. As such continual engagement and communication with the coaches will ensure all goals are met.

Some coaches elect to have fundraising opportunities to help defray the costs as well as build a positive team environment.
