Tryouts for the 2018 Spring Season will be held on Saturday, September 30th from 9:00AM to 1:00PM at the CRA. All players who did not play at the Little League Majors level during the 2016 season and who will be ages 8-12 on August 31, 2018 should attend tryouts. League placement for AAA, Junior Little League and Little League Majors is based on tryout performance, coaching evaluation and age.

There are limited slots for eight-year-old players at the AAA level each year. To qualify, eight-year-old players must attend tryouts. Eight-year-old players who do not attend tryouts will be placed on a Double A team for the Spring season.

Players wishing to tryout should arrive at the CRA anytime between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM and plan on spending about 1 hour in total to complete the various tryout stations - Infield fielding and throwing, Outfield catching and throwing, Hitting and Pitching. The time needed to complete the tryouts will vary throughout the day based on how many players arrive at any given time.

***PLEASE NOTE- in the past between 9:30 and 10:30 AM seems to be when the biggest back log occurs while later in the day the lines diminish. Please keep this in mind when planning your day. Parents may stop by the CRA to sign up and receive a number early in the day and then return for their tryout. The lower number will help that player to move more quickly through tryouts upon your return.

Approved 2017 Managers and Coaches that are planning on managing or coaching again in 2018 are strongly encouraged to attend some or all of the tryout sessions to assist in making the day run more smoothly. Coaches who can assist please email your availability to

Please note that players are not required to be registered for the 2018 Spring Season to tryout. Anyone interested in registering to take advantage of special early registration discounts may do so on-line on the Holden Baseball website (www.holdenbaseball.com) once on-line registration has been set up.

Please feel free to share this information with anyone who you know that may be interested in joining the Holden Baseball program.
