BROOKLYN BULLDOG 2012 SEASON TRYOUTS

The Brooklyn Bulldogs will be holding tryouts for their Spring 2012 teams for ages 9-13 (that age on April 30, 2012).  We expect to have a 14-15u team but tryouts for that team will not take place in December.

 In the past we held open workouts that led to tryouts.  The high turnout over the last two years, however, made it difficult to run effective workouts.  This year we will be using the time to conduct extensive tryouts only.  At the same, however, we are planning to replace the open workouts with professionally run pre-season Baseball Fundamentals clinics in March for 9-10 yos who do not make a Bulldog team and the rest of those in their age group.  Once the clinic details are finalized, we will email the details and post them on our website.

 TRYOUT INFORMATION:

 When:             Sundays, December 11 & 18, 2011

 Where:            Gym in Brooklyn Collaborative School (610 Henry Street) in Carroll Gardens (nearest subway Carroll St on F & G lines).   The entrance is at the southern-most end of the building.

 For Whom:                  Only players ages 9-13 (as of April 30, 2012) who did NOT play on a Bulldog team in 2011.  Tryouts for those who played on 2011 Bulldog teams will be held in January.  We expect to have a 14-15u team but tryouts for that team will not take place in December.

 The Process:              Please come to the December 11 tryout.  December 18 will be used for call backs and for those who absolutely couldn’t come December 11.  There will also be call backs in January on Sundays, starting January 8.  The tentative plan is to choose the teams after a parents’ meeting sometime the week of January 16 and begin team winter workouts on Sundays beginning January 22.

 What to Bring:             A mitt & wear baseball pants or sweatpants (no shorts or jeans), bats are optional.  No balls, please.  All personal equipment should have the player’s name written on them.

 Schedule:        (Each tryout session will last from 30-45 minutes depending the turnout, please arrive 10 minutes before your session.)

SPRING 2012 BULLDOGS GENERAL INFO

Each Bulldog team usually play in the NY Travel Baseball Wood Bat League (that runs from mid April until the end of June) which plays doubleheaders on the weekends and a number of tournaments.  We also run a pre-season internal league between Bulldog teams (and sometimes guests) that runs in March through the rest of the season, mainly on weekdays.  All teams participate in a Memorial Day tournament in NJ and the NYTB Spring Season ending tournament the last weekend in June.  Other tournaments are determined between the managers and parents.
