FRIDAY, FEB. 3       Training Facility

Players with last names starting with A-L arrive at 8:00 pm
Players with last names starting with M-Z arrive at 8:30 pm

This session will be a FITNESS TESTING session, so the players are expected to come dressed in shorts, t-shirt and running shoes.  No baseball gear is required.  Depending on actual numbers, each player will take approximately 30 - 45 minutes to complete the stations.

This session will be a station oriented testing session of various throws and catches.
Players are expected to wear baseball gear.

This session will include a batting session and a game.  Players are expected to wear complete baseball gear and bring a minus 3 bat if they have one.  Bats will also be supplied.  Bats other than minus 3 will not be permitted.

SEE YOU ON FRIDAY ……   GOOD LUCK AT THE TRYOUTS

Please see the following message from Russ Smithson, GM and Coach of the Tritons

The Tritons are extremely excited about their new partnership with the WRSSBA.

I certainly see the potential for both parties to work together to continue to improve the
caliber of baseball in the White Rock and South Surrey areas. With the Tritons assisting with
the Bantam AAA program, the hope is to build familiarity with the caliber of coaching and to
develop our younger players for an easier transition into the Junior PBL
 

UPDATE: Online Registration for all divisions is still open, but the late fee of $25 is now in effect.

Online registration is now open for the 2012 season and will be available until January 21, 2012. After this date, a late registration fee will apply. Payment is by credit card and a 2% fee will be charged. Alternatively, an in-person registration event will be held on January 14, 2012 at the Training Facility.
