What’s New

Travel Baseball Tryouts

It is that time of year again for baseball tryouts! To try out for one of our 2021 Roslyn Travel Baseball teams, you must sign both our standard medical release and a communicable disease waiver. We have put new protocols in place that must also be followed. Our various 2021 travel teams are based upon a player’s age on May 1, 2021. To participate in Roslyn Travel Baseball you do not have to live in Roslyn, but simply either go to school or live within our boundaries (as designated by Cal Ripken Baseball), which extend well beyond the immediate Roslyn area. To determine your eligibility, contact our Travel Baseball Coordinator, Roy Miller: coolhandmiller@gmail.com.

We will hold two tryouts at Roslyn Park (Hall Ave. and Anzac Ave., Roslyn) for each age group to accommodate your schedule and provide our evaluators ample opportunity to make the best decisions on rosters. You must attend at least one of the tryouts.
