Summer Tournament Team Information

Tournament Baseball is a competitive program for girls and boys in grades 1 through 9. The program's main focus is on the Summer season with tournament and league play, but league-play and clinics are optional additional programs in the fall, winter and spring for player development.

Eligibility: Players must be playing in Bridgewater Baseball's current spring program. Most players play by grade, however, some children may be eligible for two tournament age groups. For example, a child in 4th grade, who is 10 years old by April 30th, can tryout for two teams - the 10u team with their school grade, or the 9u team with their age group. In that case, the player would be on the younger side of the 10U team, and the older side of the 9U team. Players may play down below their grade level as long as they are age eligible, but they may not play up beyond their grade level (a 3rd grader may not play 10u; unless they are behind a school year and truly age eligible for the next level up).

Tryouts for Spring/Summer 2019 Tournament Teams

Bridgewater Recreation Baseball Players in Leagues Minors and Majors (age and grade qualified):
If a player wants to tryout for the 9U, 10U, 11U or 12U tournament teams, participation in the tryouts are mandatory.
The tryouts may run more than one day, if so players must attend both days.
Tryouts dates will be posted on the web site. All players must register online If you have any issues being able to make both days, please send an e-mail to your age group contact.

11U and 12U tryouts will have a different format from other age groups. In the event that we have a significant amount of players register for a particular age group tryout, we may conduct pre-tryouts where individual players are invited to participate in a pre-tryout. Players on the A, B and C teams will automatically be part of the regular tryout. All other players are required to participate in the pre-tryout. The main reason for this format change is, at 11U, parents and players know they must try out or participate on an 11U tournament baseball team in order to qualify for 12U Cooperstown trip. Due to this requirement the number of participants has made the tryouts format difficult to manage. The Bridgewater tournament committee and board have approved the change in format to a pre-tryout to be invited to the actual tryout. Players who do not get invited to the actual tryout will be offered an option based on their evaluation to either play tournament or summer recreation baseball.
