Q: What do I Need to Know About Tryouts?

	Please arrive 30-minutes early to register and warm up.
	When you arrive at the field, report to the registration booth for your tryout number and then begin stretching and warm-ups.
	Wear your Spring team jersey and bring your own glove, bat and cleats. If you plan to try out as a catcher, borrow your Spring team's catcher gear.

Q: Do I have to go to tryouts?

Yes, tryouts are mandatory and missing tryouts without making prior arrangements will result in not being placed on a team. If you are unable to make it contact Sandra Carrera.

Q: Who can try out?

	All girls 16 years and under who played in Spring 16U, 12U, 10U or 8U divisions in 2010 are strongly encouraged try-out for SSJSB's summer competitive team.
	Former SSJSB players who currently play on their high school Junior Varsity team, and fall under the above age category, may also qualify for placement.

Q: Does the league allow players to play up?

Yes. If you are interested in playing in a division higher than your age group, you must try out for both divisions.  For example, if you are playing as a 12 year old and you want to try out for 14U, you must try out for both 14U and 12U.  If you don't make the 12U team, you can still be selected by the 12U coaches.

Q: Does the league allow players to play down?

No. If you decline to play for the team that selected you, you will not be eligible to play for another team.

Q: How many teams will be formed?

We would love to field two teams each in the 8U, 10U and 12U divisions, and one team each in the 14U and 16U divisions. The number of players that try out will determine the number of teams we can field.

Q: How long is the Summer season?

The Summer season generally runs from Memorial Day weekend (end of May) through July. Practices may start sooner but will not conflict with player commitments to their current Spring teams.

Q: What is the practice/game schedule?

Practice and game schedules vary by coach and division. Teams generally practice three days a week and play tournaments on the weekends. Most teams will play between 5-7 tournaments. The 8U will likely play 4-5 tournaments.
