- Players who miss tryouts due to injuries/other commitments
The board decided that players who miss the tryouts will be assigned to the second team. However, there will be 1-2 roster spots open on the first team. All players from the second team will have the opportunity to make the first team roster by exceling during the off-season/pre-season workouts. Player(s) chosen has right to refuse assignment to first team and the next player will then have the opportunity to move up. Motion carried unanimously.
- Sponsor Letter
Sponsor letter will be available to all parents at tryouts. Letter will also be available online so anyone can print and give to possible sponsor.
Any checks should be made out to CCA Baseball Club. Sponsors will receive a spot on CCA Baseball Club website, t-shirts, and banner.
- Other
The Board decided there should be 2 instructional coaches for each team and also allow for one dugout personnel.
A sign-up sheet will be available at the tryout for anyone interested in volunteering to coach.
Anyone interested in fundraising should contact a Board member or let us know at the tryouts.
It should be noted the estimated $200.00 fee does NOT include uniforms.
- Parent addressing the board
One parent addressed the board prior to the start of the scheduled meeting. The parent wanted to know the format of the tryouts—if it would be required to be there for the full 2 hours? The parent was informed that the tryout would entail the full 2 hours.
