TRAVEL

All Little League players are eligible to try out each Fall for our 9U - 12U travel teams. Travel players are required to also play Little League.  Beginning in 2022, we also have a 13U tournament team.  Other tryouts may also be held in the Spring.  Typically, there are also 7U instructional-only teams in the Summer.  Travel age is different from Little League and can be determined by using the age chart below.

REGISTRATION & FEES
There is a $60 travel fee for our 9U - 12U players which is paid when you register for the 2023 Spring Little League Season.  Families also pay for the Winter Training facility rental, team equipment (baseballs, catchers gear, team bag / buckets, etc), uniforms, umpires ($60-120 per game), tournament fees ($600+ per tournament), and lodging for distant tournaments.  These fees vary (~$300 - $1000) for each team depending on the length of Winter Training, number of games played, and cost of tournaments entered.

TRAVEL PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Our 8U - 12U travel teams are typically comprised of two teams per age group (blue and white).  New teams are formed each Fall with tryouts.  An additional tryout may also occur in the Spring.  No players are guaranteed a spot on a travel team. 

TRAVEL SELECTION PROCESS​
Outside baseball evaluators will be brought in to score players.  Scores will be collected by the Deep Run Baseball Board and then shared with each team's prospective manager.  The manager will select a team and submit it to the board for review.  Once approved by the board, all players who tried out will be contacted by the Baseball Board.

Teams meet for indoor Winter Training from January - March at a nearby facility.  Teams have the option of participating in a Spring league on Fridays and/or Sundays.  All teams participate in several Summer tournaments including our own Field Of Dreams Tournament at Deep Run.

Each year Deep Run sends our 12U teams to Cooperstown Dreams Park for a once in a lifetime experience playing against teams from around the world!  All teams must fundraise to cover the expenses of this week-long experience.  All team fundraising goes towards the players and coaches participating in the 12U Cooperstown Tournament.  Families will need to arrange and pay for lodging separately in Cooperstown.
