2024 Competitive Teams

Rep tryouts are open to all players that reside within the Barrie Minor Baseball boundary area.  For players residing outside the boundary, please review the YSBA release policy. Select teams must have at least 50% of the players on the roster living within the Association's boundaries.

All players must register online before attending a tryout.
The $25.00 tryout fee can be paid online by credit/debit card or by e-transfer to payregistration@barriebaseball.com. Please include your player's name in the message section so payment can easily be applied. One fee covers all tryouts for that player and is due before the first tryout.

All players and parents must agree to the required waiver, declaration, and acknowledgements to participate. Full details are available when you register.

TRYOUT SCHEDULE  

COACH CONTACT INFO (Coming Soon)

PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ ALL DETAILS
Rep team head coaches will be announced on Tuesday September 5 and tryouts will begin on Sunday September 10. 
Many players will have competed in OBA Championships on Labour Day weekend, and for proper arm care athletes need an appropriate period of rest before tryouts. This will also allow families to focus on back-to-school activities the first week back.

The number of teams offered in each division will be based on player registration and abilities, and availability of coaches. Most age groups will field 2 Rep teams with the possibility of a combined age Select team.

2024 Tryout Policy:

• 3 Rep tryouts and 1-2 Select tryouts are usually scheduled for each age group. Additional tryouts may be added, if needed to finalize team selection.

• In divisions with 2 Rep teams, the coach of Team 1 will run the first tryout and the coach of Team 2 will run the second tryout. These tryouts will focus on skills and drills (no scrimmages).

• Players should make every effort to attend both tryouts. If circumstances do not allow for this, please communicate directly with the head coaches.

• Coaches may release players after the 2nd scheduled tryout if they are better suited to a lower-level team. If there are 2 teams, both coaches must agree on which players to release.

• Scrimmages are permitted at the 3rd tryout to assist Rep coaches with final team selection.

• If 3 Rep teams are offered in any division, all coaches will work together to plan and run the tryouts.

• The Team 1 coach will have first choice of available players looking for a spot on a Rep team. Players may request to be removed from consideration from the higher team but must do so via conversation with that team’s coach before tryouts begin. The coach will decide if the exception is granted, which may be appealed to the Rep Committee if necessary.

• Players who try out for a Rep team may not decline a spot on Team 1 or Team 2 in order to play on a lower-level team. If a player who was not granted an exception as described above turns down a spot that is offered or withdraws after accepting, that player will be released to house league.

• Team 1 must have a fully confirmed roster before any spots are offered on Team 2. The same applies if there is a 3rd Rep team. Open communication and cooperation between coaches is expected.

Depending on how many players are trying out in a division, the first 2 tryout sessions may be divided or shorter in duration than posted. A coach will email registered players 1-2 days before the first tryout to confirm times and communicate any changes. Please ensure contact email addresses are up to date when you register online.

To assist with player selection, coaches must work with an independent evaluator that does not have a player trying out in that division. In divisions with multiple Rep teams, coaches may share an evaluator, or each coach may have their own.
A player that is not selected to a Rep team will be eligible to try out for Select teams, if offered. Head coaches and additional tryout dates for additional teams will be posted when available. In most age groups, all tryouts will be completed before the end of September.
Players that only wish to play Select are permitted to only attend Select tryouts, but Select teams are not guaranteed at every age group. The schedule for Select tryouts will be posted as soon as it is finalized.

Good luck to all players!
