Welcome to the Rochester Youth Baseball Association's Traveling Program Web Site! We are anticipating another fun and exciting year for all of the Rochester Traveling baseball teams. For 2008 we will have two AAA teams and one AA team for ages 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. These teams will be “Travel only” teams meaning that none of these players will play in the RYBA House league. The 12, 13 and 14 year-old AAA and AA teams will participate in the Metro Baseball league throughout the week and will participate in tournaments on selected weekends from May to mid-July. The 10, 11 year-old AAA and AA teams will be “tournament only” teams. These teams will primarily practice and occasionally play scrimmage games during the week and will participate in tournaments on selected weekends from May to mid-July. This year we will have at least one 10A team and one 11A team which will play a limited 2 tournament schedule (one in Rochester and one away) and will practice and play only in the month of June. All of the players on the 10A and 11A teams will also participate in the RYBA House League on another RYBA House League team. We may also have 15/16 teams that will play in the Winona County League as well as 1 weekend tournament. Please feel free to ask your high school coach for information regarding the 15/16 RYBA program. |
Traveling Fees There is no fee to tryout for an RYBA Traveling team. If you are selected for a traveling team, the following fees apply (in addition to the $80 RYBA Registration Fee and the $40 RYBA Fundraiser):
Rochester Tournaments 2008: Rochester will be hosting four tournaments this year. The Early Bird/Wells Fargo wood bat is scheduled for May 16-18 (11AAA,12AAA/AA, 13 AAA/AA, 14AAA). The Classic will be June 6-8 (10 AAA/AA, 12AAA/AA, 14AA). The Rochester “Klampe” will be held June 27-29 (11 AAA/AA, 13 AAA/AA, 15AA). Rochester will also host a 10/11A tournament the weekend of June 20-22. Uniforms: Each player will be responsible to purchase their own pants, belt and helmet. They may purchase these at Adlers Sporting Goods. Hat, socks, jersey (home and away), insurance, numbering and lettering, are provided and will be included in your traveling fee. 10A and 11A team members will receive one jersey and hat. Age classification:
The cutoff date for determining your player's age eligibility is April 30th. As with
past years, there may be situations where a player can choose to
'play up' to their grade level rather than based on their age as of
4/30. Please see us at the Traveling table during
registration for more information. SlumpBuster in Omaha: The 12 AAA and 14 AAA teams will again be traveling to Omaha for the SlumpBuster Youth tournament the weekend of June 12-15.
