Player Tryout Information

All Prior Lake Travel Fastpitch Players participate in general Skill tryout.
 
During general skill tryout(s) players will be evaluated on throwing, infield ground balls, outfield flyballs, hitting, and running.  For players that are interested in pitching there will be an additional tryout session at an appointed date/time.  Catchers will be evaluated during the general skills tryouts at an additional station.

General Information for Tryouts

Dress: Players cannot wear prior year jerseys or any items that contain their name. 

Bring to Tryouts: Helmet with facemask and chin strap, glove, fielders face mask if desired, bat, tennis shoes (NO cleats permitted in the dome) and water. Catchers should bring their catching gear. P.L.A.Y. will provide equipment for those who do not have it.

Arrival & Check In: Check-in begins 45 minutes before your assigned tryout time. Parents must check their player(s) in to provide an emergency contact # and signature. There will be a check in table in the lobby of the dome. Parents will NOT be permitted into the dome.

The girls will be brought into the Dome at 10 minutes before their assigned tryout time, they may start warming up on time.  It is vital that tryouts start on time in order to provide adequate time for everyone to rotate through all stations.

Date/Time Conflict: Contact the Director of Travel Softball if your player as a conflict and is unable to attend their own age groups tryout. An alternative date/time will be provided. It is highly encourage to make every effort to attend the age level tryout that your player falls under if at all possible. This allows the evaluators to see them perform against similar age level talent.

During Tryouts: The only people allowed in the dome is the players, evaluators, station runners, and the tryout committee selected by the travel softball board. The tryout committee ensures that the tryouts run on time. Evaluators will be the only ones scoring the players and are the only ones with access to the scores.
