13U-15U baseball is for players with birthdays between May 1, 2009 & April 30, 2012.
The number of teams we will field and at which specific age groups will be determined by the number of players registered and the number of coaches we are able to hire.
Practices for teams in this age group are typically Monay-Friday mid to late-afternoons on non-game days, although teams may practice in the morning or evenings depending on coaching availability. Game times will range with starting times anywhere from 12pm to 6:30pm. We will play teams from Northwest Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. We will play a couple of weekend tournaments. We have historically bussed teams to most out-of-town games but not weekend tournaments. Driver availability will dictate whether or not teams will continue to be bussed.
New for the 2025 season, the tentative plan is to form three teams, a 15U 'A' team, a 13U 'A' team, and a 14U 'B' team for any players who do not make the 15U or 13U teams. This is being done to give players the opportunity to play and practice with and against players of similar ability.
There will be a tryout on Sunday, March 4th at Stauss Park from 5 pm - 7 pm for 13-15U players who would like to try out for either the 13U 'A' or 15U 'A' team. We have an alternate site secured in case of inclement weather on that date. There will be a 2nd Round Tryout Session on Wednesday, May 7th from 7 pm - 8:30 pm at Stauss Park. Players will be notified after the initial tryout if they need to attend the 2nd Round Tryout Session or not. Players who do not register and/or attend the tryout sessions will not be able to join the 15U 'A' or 13U 'A' teams later on. Players that register but do not attend the tryout sessions will be placed on the 14U 'B' team. We are not planning on cutting any players, our coaches and evaluators will work to find an appropriate team fit for each player to give them the best chance to further their development. Rosters will be finalized and sent out by Wednesday, May 14th.
The 13U-15U teams will begin practice in mid-late May and run through late-July or first week or August.
