TRYOUTS / TEAM  FORMATION

HSAA creates Teams at both the High School (Varsity & JV) and Middle School (8th grade & 7th grade) levels.  Tryouts are typically conducted in the middle of October with player notifications in November.

 PLAYER  ELIGIBILITY

Please read carefully the Eligibility Requirements as outlined on the following link (Eligibility Requirements) on the HSAA website.  If you have questions about whether you qualify as a “homeschooler," please contact one of the head coaches.

SEASON

Practices begin in mid-January with games typically scheduled February though April.  HSAA schedules games against area private schools as well as homeschool teams from other cities.  HSAA does not create or sponsor summer/fall teams.  In the past, players from HSAA teams have connected to form summer/fall teams, but HSAA does not involve itself in the arrangement and/or support of such teams.

 PROGRAM  COSTS

Program costs includes the HSAA Membership Fee (per sport/per participant) as well as a fitted Baseball cap.  Any tournament play and/or travel-related expenses would be additional.

QUALITY  OF  PLAY 

This is competitive baseball, with high school substitution rules.   Unlike Rec Programs, there is no guarantee of playing time or position.  Playing time will be based on skill-sets, hustle, ability, performance, not to mention attitude toward your teammates and others.  HSAA will strive to provide as many professional training opportunities as possible.  HSAA is NOT, however, a win-at-all-cost organization.  Our goal is to provide a high quality, balanced program where talented athletes can grow physically and spiritually and where Jesus Christ is honored in all respects.

COACHING  PHILOSOPHY 

HSAA baseball coaches are volunteers.  Parents may be asked to help provide logistical support.  If you feel you have a skill that you could use to help the program, please let us know.  Also, our coaches have full-time jobs and are taking personal time from their families to support our program.  Please remember this, and stay flexible.

In a nutshell, we stress to our players that all we do reflects who we are in Christ.

 As such, we expect our players (and families) to be model athletes, exhibiting Christ-like behavior in all our interactions with our coaching staff, opponents, and umpires.
