Wilmette Baseball Association

Pinto Nine Year Old Travel Baseball

The Wilmette Baseball Association has entered two 9 year-old travel teams in the newly formed Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League for the 2010 Summer Season (one A and one B).
Tryouts will be help on April 25th at Thornwood Park from 12:00 noon - 6:00 pm. Pre-registration is required. Information will be sent to all and announcements will be made on specific tryout times.
The travel season consists of league games played over a 6-7 week period starting in mid-June (approximately 2/3 games per week) concluding with a championship tournament in late July.
The travel league is competitive. Due to the condensed schedule and player limit, players who choose to tryout must be committed to the program (including attendance at practices). At the 9 year old level, players should not tryout if they have made plans to be unavailable for more than 6 days during the travel season. All commitments should be noted when registering. Players who abuse this are subject to reduced playing time or dismissal from the team.
There may be some overlap with the WBA House League during the first week. Players are not allowed to play in travel games on nights that their House team has a game. Players violating this rule will be suspended from the travel team.

The cost for the travel season will be $500-$575 per player which includes the cost of paid coaches. Should paid coaches not be used, the cost will be less.

A Pinto Summer Baseball Program is available for those players who do not make the Travel Team; however, they must register for the program on time. Their money will be refunded for the Pinto Summer Program if they make the Travel Team.
