Tryouts for 2013-14
Candidates must pass a baseball talent test (”tryout”), an admissions academic test and complete and approve an interview process. Space for “tryouts” is limited and on a first come, first serve basis. However, candidates may enter a request to be evaluated at one of their regular games in their leagues. This request will be considered based on the availability of the CBBA Sports Department officials.
