TRAVEL / REPRESENTATIVE DIVISION

TRAVEL DIVISION TRYOUTS

Tryout registration opens in August.  Tryouts for next season take place following the conclusion of the current season which usually follows Labour Day.  CMBA covers all costs for Rep/Travel Tryouts.

We conduct fall tryouts for travel teams primarily so that we can build a roster and work to prepare our teams during the off season. We also conduct fall tryouts to determine the viability of having a Tier 2 program at each age group - based on the number and skill level of those who tryout for Tier 1.

Please note that all players wishing to play travel baseball must first tryout for the Tier 1 team.  All players must participate in at least one tryout session.
