2011/2012 Shaw Park 11U Jackets Tryouts
The 11U Jackets at Shaw Park announce upcoming workouts to strengthen our team for the Fall 2011 / Spring 2012 travel baseball season. The Jackets are a second year team playing out of Shaw Park in Marietta, GA, centrally located in the heart of travel baseball in Cobb County.
The Jackets completed their inaugural single A season with strong USSSA play resulting in a tournament victory in a USSSA Champs Wear the Rings tournament, runner up in USSSA State West Championship and runner up in the inaugural USSSA Final Four Championship.
Our intention is to continue our focus on player and team development by playing at the right competitive level, in the right leagues and tournaments allowing the team to earn and demonstrate play at the AA/AAA level in 2012.
We’re looking for 3-5 players who can challenge our returning group and strengthen key positions on the field. We’d love to see players who are ready to make a transition to more consistent and competitive travel baseball. We’re also looking for those players with travel baseball experience that may not have been given the opportunity to develop in a desired position or get quality playing time in key games or tournament situations.
If you’re a “diamond in the rough” or someone who has been passed over by another team, we’d love to have you work out with us.
Our team is:
* Centrally located to significant travel baseball competition, league play and tournaments
* Offered plenty of lighted field time and facility use for practices, games, hosting tournaments/round robins
* Committed to professional instruction for each player at JCS Sports Training (this year all pitchers were instructed by Stephen, hitting with Casey/Ben, speed & agility with Greg) as well as facility use during inclement weather
* Fall sports friendly – we’ll play a light Fall tournament schedule in Sept/Oct to help transition to the bigger field and focus on position development
* Planning on a World Series type destination tournament to end our 11U season
* Offering player sponsorships for the right player with desired capabilities to reduce/remove any financial barriers to play
Our currently scheduled workouts will be Saturday July 23rd and Saturday July 30th from 8AM-12PM at Shaw Park’s Bronco field. If you have a conflict for either of these sessions, we’re happy to accommodate your schedule. Additional workouts will be planned for early August. Directions to Shaw Park can be found at http://www.shawparkbaseball.com.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me at any time. Please send an email or call to let me know if you’re planning on attending a workout.
Thanks!
