Letter to Travel Team Tryout Parents

2025 Travel Team Tryout Information

Important Information for Travel Tryout Evaluations 

 

  • Players are required to attend one session, but are encouraged to attend both.
  • Travel Team Tryouts for the 2025 baseball season will take place at New Richmond High School Gym.
  • There is a $50 registration deposit fee which will go towards the season registration cost if your child makes a travel team.  2025 registration cost for travel will be $370, meaning an additional $320 will be due upon registering for the season.  If your child does not make a travel team, the $50 tryout deposit can be transferred to in-house registration or refunded.  If your child makes a travel team but chooses not to play, the $50 tryout deposit fee will not be refunded.
  • All players that wish to be considered for a travel team must register and attend at least one tryout session. 
  • If your child is trying out for a travel team and is placed on a team, we expect they will be committed to attending games, practices and tournaments.
  • Players can choose to tryout to "play up" for the older level if they would like - please indicate that in the registration.  If they choose to tryout to "play up" a level, they will need to attend the tryout times for both levels.  See chart below for birthdate ranges for each level to determine in which level(s) your child is eligible to play.
  • Players' families must have completed all required DIBS volunteer shifts for the 2024 season to be eligible to tryout for next year's season of travel team.  If you have any questions around your DIBS volunteer requirements, please log into SportsEngine and check the DIBS tab that will show the number of hours required and how many have been completed.

What to know about tryouts:

  • Please arrive approximately 15 minutes early to the scheduled time to check-in your child. They will be directed to a location to warm up and wait for their group to start.
  • Players should wear baseball pants, tennis shoes and regular t-shirt and hat. Players should NOT wear any NR Tiger baseball team shirts or the white travel team pants. All 2024 NRBC hats are the same and can be worn. This is preferred so that players can be evaluated without displaying if they have played on any team previously. Players in violation will be asked to change attire before trying out.
  • This is a CLOSED tryout where parents are asked to leave New Richmond High School Gym until the scheduled time is over.
  • Parents should arrive at the scheduled end time for child pickup. 

 

The 2025 travel team results will be posted via the NRBC website within a couple of weeks post tryouts and will be communicated via email and the NRBC FB page.

"Like" the NRBC facebook page for weather related cancellations!

You don't have to be on facebook to keep yourself informed.  Check out the facebook feed below for all club communication!

NRBC Cancellation Notifications

The weather in Wisconsin can be challenging and unpredictable in the springtime! The New Richmond Baseball Club may decide to cancel a practice or game due to weather conditions. As a youth program, we will will always put the safety of the kids first!

Any cancellations will be posted on the NRBC Facebook page. If you do not have FB, you can still access that information on the Facebook widget on the NRBC home page on our website. This is the fastest and easiest way to reach the large amount of families in our program.
 
Please note that we only post cancellations. NRBC does not post for practices or games to continue as planned. If you do not see a post for a cancellation for your specific league or a post that says ALL of baseball is cancelled, please assume that your team will still practice or play their game as scheduled. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There are times where we may cancel baseball practice/games for some leagues, but not all. We consider the age level when making cancellation decisions for each league when there is light weather. This consideration is more common for the youngest baseball leagues (T-ball or Coach Pitch) as compared to the older leagues or even the In-House versus Travel Leagues.
 
If there is inclement weather, the NRBC board of directors monitors the weather considering current conditions and predicted radar over time (rain, thunder storms/lightning, tornado watch, etc.). We strive to make decisions and notify families as early as possible. However, there are times when we do hold off as late as possible if there is a chance the weather conditions would improve and the kids could still play ball. We appreciate your understanding as we do the best we can to ensure safety of the kids.
