Prior to the start of the season, players wanting to represent Mankato Area Youth Baseball Association traveling division for 15 year olds will tryout for AAA or AA teams.  Each team will consist of 12-14 players, based upon the selection committee's evaluation of the skill level of the group and the coach's ability and experience. 15AAA will in the Metro Baseball League. 15AA will play in the South Central League.   Each team may participate in up to three invitational tournaments, including their own Mankato Tournament. All teams will also participate in their respective end­of­season league tournaments as well, with the possibility of qualifying for a state tournament.

15 Year Old Travel Team Tryout Format:  Evaluation of the players trying out will be done the by the 15 year old 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, and then the travel Team AA coach will select his.  Each age group runs a separate tryout. 

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, 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.

**2010:  currently we do not have enough numbers to have a 15A team.  Players not played on a full-time traveling team will be placed on a 14/15/16 yr old MAYBA In-House team.

 

15 Year Old Rules:  At the beginning of each season, the head coach of each team is supplied with a long detailed version on each leagues travel league 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.
