Skokie Baseball families,

Skokie Baseball is conducting travel tryouts at Central Park (9350 Central Park Avenue Skokie, IL 60203) on July 30th and 31st, from 12pm-3pm. Players only need to attend one tryout.

We will conduct tryouts primarily by age group. July 30th is for 12U-14U, July 31st is for 8U-11U. (If your child can not make the date for their age group, coming to the other date is perfectly fine.)

In the form please specify what team your child is trying out for.

Travel baseball entails a meaningful commitment to the game. There is a time and cost commitment. Players that try out should have a love for the game and a desire to continually improve and compete. Indoor practices will begin in January. Games are May through July (spring season) and late August through October (fall season).
