Key INFO To Know

2025 Royal oak Stars tryout info

• What is the Stars Program? - It is an opportunity for selected players to be introduced to tournament play and additional training. Tryouts will take place in early August and incorporate year-round programming from team building exercises, training, fundraising and spring/summer tournaments.  
  • The focus is on players who may be multi-sport athletes or engaged with other activities who are looking for growth and development on the diamond.  Players get the benefit of training, tournament competition and community league play.
  • Travel Baseball is growing and very popular.  The Stars program is designed to provide this for families who want their child to play at an elevated level while balancing other activities and summer schedules. 
• Ages? – We hope to field teams from 8U-15U.  Not each age group may have a team (ex: 12/13 year olds, combined for 13U) but we will field teams we can from the number of players trying out and available coaches.  You will tryout for the team for the age your child is as of 5/1/25.
• Do all kids make the team? – Unfortunately no.  With limited coaches, there is a tryout and teams typically take 11-13 players.  Players will show an ability to play at an elevated level, have a positive attitude, willingness to develop and being a great teammate. 
• Schedule? – While each team is different, typically a Stars program begins in early January with winter training, outdoor work in April, scrimmages/games with other community teams in the spring and compete in 4-5 tournaments throughout the summer.
• Costs – While the final expense is still being worked out (fees cover the cost of uniforms, tournaments, winter training and more), the cost is on average 50-80% less than most travel organizations.  We believe cost should not be a barrier to getting on the field at any level.
• Who’s Eligible – All players in the Sandlot League and partner communities.  Players are expected to play for their recreational team as well as the Stars team.  IF YOU DID NOT PLAY SANDLOT THIS SEASON, YOU CAN STILL TRYOUT AND REGISTER FOR 2025
