WELCOME TO TENAFLY TRAVEL BASEBALL
GENERAL:
Tenafly Travel Baseball is a great opportunity for our kids who are seeking a more competitive baseball experience while at the same time represent our Tenafly community with class and pride. The goal of the Tenafly Travel Program is to increase player skill development in a more competitive environment. Because of the increased competitiveness of our travel teams, the Tenafly Travel Program is intended for players who have a higher level of interest in the sport and are prepared to dedicate more time for practices and games.
Games are played in the Spring and Summer and may or may not interfere with Town Recreation. Tryouts will be conducted in both the Spring and Summer Travel Seasons, resepectively for each season. If you are interested in trying out for a Spring Travel Team, please check the box "interested in travel" when registering for recreation baseball.
COMMITMENT:
Travel Baseball requires a significant commitment on both the player and his/her family. Players are expected to be at all of the practices and games throughout the season. For kids playing multiple sports during the season, we ask that baseball takes priority. Please note that there is an additional cost associated with Travel Baseball as team fees are not included in the general recreation registration fees. This feel will cover the cost of the league entry fee, umpires and uniforms etc... We ask that you consider your ability to make this commitment before trying out.
COACHES:
All of our coaches are volunteers and not professional coaches. Our goal is to continue to develop players, teach baseball skills and most importantly let the kids play the game of baseball and have fun. Coaches will not be chosen until after the travel teams are selected.
DEVELOPMENT:
Our goal is to continue to develop players, teach baseball skills and most importantly let the kids play the game of baseball and have fun. The ultimate goal is make sure that each player is better at the end of the season than they were at the beginning. To assist in the development of all our travel players, Tenafly Little League has contracted with Muggeo Baseball and Softball to provide each our travel teams 1.5 hours per week of professional training for the entire season. We started this program in the Fall of 2013 with great success and have expanded it to our Spring and Summer Travel Seasons in addition to the Fall.
ELIGIBILITY:
In order to be eligible to play Tenafly Travel Baseball, you must be registered and participate in at least 75% of your teams games in Tenafly’s Little League Baseball Recreation Program.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the baseball field.
