Prior to the start of the season, players wanting to represent Mankato Area Youth Baseball Association in the 12 year old traveling division will tryout for two travel teams (AAA or AA).  Each team will consist of 12 players.  Each team may participate in up to 6 tournaments, including their own Mankato Royals Classic Tournament.

11 Yr Old Travel Team Tryout Format: Evaluation of the players trying out will be done by the two travel team coaches and a panel of up to 5 knowledgeable people, and at least one MAYBA Board member. The Travel Team Coach of the AAA team will select his travel team first, then the travel Team AA coach will select his.

The Travel Team tryout format will be established by the head coaches, under the assistance of the Travel Team Directors, and will consist of skills and drills, hitting, fundamentals, and scrimmage. The goal of the tryout is to select the best teams possible in the fairest way to each individual trying out.

Those players not placed on a full-time traveling team will be placed on the "A" travel team.  These players will play in 3 weekend tournaments (one in Mankato), AND play on regular in-house teams.  This will give these players a taste of the travel program, with higher competition.  Ages may be combined depending on registration numbers.

**For 2010 we will have the following teams: "AAA", "AA", and 3 "A" teams (total of 5)

 

11 Year Old Rules:  At the beginning of each season the head coach of each team is supplied with a long detailed version of travel rules. It is the head coach’s responsibility to pass the detailed information to each participant and their family. In general, most leagues follow the MSHSL rules.

Travel teams for 2010

Those signed up for travel team tryouts will be placed on one of the following teams:

The AAA team plays at a higher level than the AA team.  The A teams are evenly split. 

If you know you would like to play on the “A” team only, you do NOT need to attend tryouts.
