Welcome to West Jeff Baseball

• Tryouts for our 8-14 YO Competitive teams take place once per year in mid-September.
  
• (NOTE: 2021 COVID-19 Accommodations: In 2020, WJBB is holding modified tryouts on Oct. 3, 2020, at Bergen Valley Elementary for 8U and 9U players who did not try out last year and who want to play in the 2021 season. Sign your player up for tryouts here. 
  (Weather makeup day is Oct. 10). 
  
  
  Oct 3, 2020 Modified Tryout Schedule
  11:00 - 12:00 for 9 yr olds 
  12:30-1:30 for 8 yr olds 
  Please arrive 15 minutes for check-in, which will include a temperature check and COVID-19 questions.
  Players will be required to wear face masks. Volunteers will also be masked.
  Please bring your own glove. Bats will be provided and cleaned between players. 
  For all other players, team placements for our cancelled 2020 season will be honored and carried over for the 2021 season. Any player who would like to be considered for a different team placement (wanting to play in a higher age bracket than they normally would be playing, wanting to be considered for a higher-ranked team within their age bracket, or are interested in playing for a different coach) can indicate that during the registration process (which will be detailed in the weeks ahead).
  See more 2021 details here.

• This skill evaluation tests players in a number of areas: hitting, fielding ground balls, base running, catching fly balls, long toss, and pitching. Attendance at these tryouts is required for all players seeking to find a spot on a competitive West Jeff Baseball team. 
• Coaches typically start drafting teams in mid-October...these teams will play the following Spring. Practices can begin anywhere from January to March, depending on the coach. Games start the end of March and go through the end of June. As a courtesy to your teammates, their families, and the opposing teams, it is important that WJBB players/families follow through with their baseball commitment each year and complete the scheduled season they sign up for. When there are not enough players, teams have to forfeit games.
• Registration for Competitive league generally opens August 1. The fee for competitive baseball is $275. This fee includes game and practice fields, umpires, skills clinic, team equipment, and insurance. Uniforms, tournaments, and indoor practices (scheduled as needed by coaches) are not included.
• League games are typically played on week nights; half in the Evergreen area, half at fields in the Denver metro area. This leaves weekends open for those teams that wish to participate in tournament play.
• Players can become part of the Competitive league starting at age 8. They must be 8 by April 30 to play with the 8-yr-old division. However, RMJBL rules allow players to join teams that reflect their "grade" age, even if they've not met the age cutoff.
• If you move to the area and missed tryouts, please contact Karrie Osborn at [email protected] to see if she can work with you to find a team for your player.
