Warrenville Warriors Travel Baseball
The Warrenville
Warriors are the traveling baseball program of the Warrenville
Athletic Association (WAA) an affiliate organization of the
Warrenville Park District. This program is focused towards WAA
players and Warrenville Park District/ School District 200
residents ages 10 to 14, who are seeking a higher level of
competition and who are willing to
make a substantial commitment to playing baseball.
Players are selected by their age group’s coaching staff based
on a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
performance level, commitment, ability, effort and attitude.
Tryouts for the Warriors program are held in August/September
for the upcoming season. Warriors Travel Baseball has fielded
full-time teams at 11U, 12U, 13U and 14U age levels. Part Time
teams have also been formed at the 9u and 10u levels. Players at
the 9u and 10u age groups must play in the WAA in house league
for that playing season. The WAA encourages grade appropriate
play. Age eligibility is determined by the player’s age on
April 30th, 2010.
Full time Warrior
teams play (approx. 40-60 games), competing with other community
traveling teams and in local and (possibly) out of state
tournaments. Part time teams play approx 20-25 travel games
while also playing a 14-16 game schedule with their in house
teams. Teams train indoors beginning in early January and
running thru the winter months. Practices continue throughout
the season, which typically runs from April 1, through mid to
late July.
There is a
registration fee charged to each player to help cover the costs
associated with this program. Every effort is made to keep
registration fee’s as low as possible and this is accomplished
via various fundraising programs conducted by each individual
team. Player and families are required to participate in
fundraising efforts. Sponsors also play a very important role in
assisting with our travel program and are actively sought.
Note that playing
time will depend on, but is not limited to, a player’s
performance, dedication, and attitude during practice and games
and is at the MANAGER’S DISCRETION. Players will not be
guaranteed playing time. Every effort will be made to give
players a chance to earn positions during practices and practice
games.
