Q & A Regarding House League Select
House League Select is a program designed to offer baseball players a higher level of competition and skill development within a house league framework. It serves as an intermediary step between regular house league play and competitive travel teams. Participants in House League Select could compete against teams from other regions in a tournament format while still participating with their weekly House League play in the Quinte Baseball League.
House League Select is open to players who are already participating in our house league program. Players must try out and will be selected based on their skills and abilities. The program aims to provide opportunities for passionate and dedicated players to advance their skills in a more competitive environment.
The selection process for House League Select typically involves tryouts, where players demonstrate their skills and abilities in front of coaches. These tryouts may include drills, scrimmages, and assessments of technical and tactical skills. Coaches then select players based on their performance, attitude, and potential to contribute to the team.
The time commitment for House League Select will depend on tournament options, for the 2025 season this program will be Coach/ specific team led. Generally, players can expect additional practices and games beyond their regular house league schedule. This could mean one or two extra practices a week, as well as weekend games and tournaments. It is important for players and families to be aware of the time commitment and ensure they can balance it with other responsibilities.
Yes, there will be additional costs associated with the House League Select program. These may include fees for tryouts, extra practice time, tournament fees, insurance and the cost of additional uniforms or equipment. It is important for families to consider these potential costs when deciding to participate in the program.
While both House League Select and Select/Rep Level teams offer higher levels of competition, there are some key differences between the two. House League Select is generally less intense in terms of time commitment and travel requirements compared to Select travel teams. It is designed to provide an intermediate step for players who are looking for more competition but may not be ready or able to commit to the rigorous demands of a full travel team.
