Tryouts (completed, but see note)

Initial tryouts for the Falcons 2024 spring baseball teams have been completed. However, we will still consider additional players for both our High School and Junior High squads. If you are interested in setting up an individual tryout, please call coach Shelby Thomas at 281-221-1079. Or use our contact form.

Other Information about Tryouts and Team Selection

Tryouts consist of individual evaluations in hitting, running, fielding, pitching and catching, plus additional drills as determined by the coach. Team selection -- which is not based exclusively on tryouts -- will begin immediately after fall tryouts and a preliminary squad will be announced within a week or two. Those who are not selected during the fall tryout session may be invited to attend a supplemental tryout session in January (stay tuned to this website for more information). A light practice schedule will begin shortly after the preliminary team selection and will become more regular as the Spring season approaches.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Players who are selected for the team will need to attend a mandatory parents meeting. Date, time and location will be announced later, but it will likely be some time in early January. At that meeting, each player needs to bring a copy of his birth certificate (if we do not already have it on file), the Academy fee ($400 made payable to "Northside Baseball Academy"), and a snack or drinks. We will also need to get a signed Participation Agreement / Medical Release Form from each new player. The player and at least one parent must attend this meeting. Players who do not meet these requirements may not practice or play with the team until they do.

Other Important Dates Coming Up

December Practices: 12/5, 12/12, and 12/19 (more information will be provided by email)

This schedule is subject to change for rain dates, new games, tournaments, etc. Stay tuned for regular updates and be sure to verify all games with your coach. Also, please note that the posted times are for the starting times of each game. Players should plan their travel arrangements so as to arrive one hour prior to game time, or whenever the coach has indicated. Unless otherwise noted, all home games will be played on the Blue Field at Barton Park.
