Tournament Teams: Tournament teams are composed of the best players drawn from the in-house club leagues. Teams are formed for each age group from eight through fourteen. Players are rostered and participate with their regular in-house teams during the spring season. They practice once a week as a tournament team. Expect a 15-25 game local area tournament schedule in addition to their in-house club league games. Tournament Teams from 8U though 12U participate in the Ripken Baseball Tournament Trail. The season runs from March through July. These teams are self-funded. Tryouts are held in early March.
Select Baseball: Green Hornets offer specific opportunities for those kids wishing to play baseball at a high level. Those opportunities exist at each of the 11-, 12-, 13-, and 14-year-olds levels. The number of games, depending on the wishes of the coaches, could vary, and may be 40-70 games during the spring and summer. Travel throughout the area and state may also occur, depending on the leagues, tournaments, etc. It is important to understand these opportunities at these levels may not always involve equal playing time, batting, etc., as well as variance on the number of kids on each team; all determined by the highly capable selected coaches. Tryouts will be announced by each age-specific coach at a later time. Specific questions can also be directed to the Select Coordinator, Dave Ferris, 410-987-2320, dbferris32@comcast.net
