Summer Ball Tryouts May 31st and June 1st

Summer ball tryouts for West Salem's D1 and D2 teams will take place this week. 

• WHEN: Thursday, May 31st (5:00 PM to 6:30 PM) and Friday, June 1st (6:00 PM to 7:30 PM)
• WHERE: West Salem High School
• WHO: Any ballplayers who will attend WSHS next year (current 8th graders through current juniors)
• COST: TBD.  We will let you know at tryouts.

Reminders:

• Please be READY to roll at start time.
• Please come dressed in baseball attire (pants, cleats, etc.) with your equipment.
• Football players, please go to football practice first and meet up with us right after.
• Being a member of a spring team (Frosh, JV, Varsity) does not guarantee a summer roster spot.  During tryouts coaches will be assessing players on multiple aspects including coachability, work ethic, and skill level.  Please be aware baseball is a "cut sport" and there are limited number of roster spots available.
• Whether you make a team this summer or not has no bearing on making a team in the spring.  There are limited spots and we understand that players grow and improve with time, hard work, and practice.
• We encourage multi-sport athletes and always do our best to work out scheduling issues out with football, basketball, etc. 

Current 8th graders:

• Please bring your current youth ball schedule so we know your availability for the summer.
• Your current team/league (JBO, DS, Little League, etc.) has no bearing on making a team.  Please do not assume that it does.
• Remember (if you make a team) that your first priority is with your youth ball team.  You are expected to go to your youth team's events if there is a schedule conflict.

Legion Hopefuls:

• AAA Legion tryouts are June 3rd and June 4th at 5:00 PM at Western Oregon University.
• We encourage you to try out for both teams in the off-chance you don't make the AAA squad.
• If you do make the Division 1 team you are definitely able to tryout for the Dirtbags.
• Please communicate with the coaches if you have any questions about Legion/WSHS tryouts.

Here's a link to our Summer Ball page.  Each team's page has current schedules.  There will likely be updates and changes to these but they are currently up-to-date:
