Player Selection Process |
Each high school coach / school zone may
a team or teams in the Metro League. We
encourage teams to be formed using a fair system that will include and
offer a roster spot to as many players as possible with the baseball
skills and potential skills to compete at a high school playing level.
We
will form open Metro teams comprised of players whose school or coaches
have decided not to participate.
Players will be evaluated
during tryouts. Players will be evaluated on
fundamental baseball skills, attitude and hustle. Teams will be a selected in
late April and early May. In order to be eligible
to play on an open metro team players need to
complete the online tryout registration form and attend
our scheduled tryouts. TRYOUT
REGISTRATION FORM Registered players will be notified prior to tryouts with time and location.

Player Eligibility |
Players must be at least 15
years old by July 31, 2008, to be eligible. Graduating
seniors, or players that have aged out of their high school eligibility (cannot
turn 19 before Oct. 16th of said school year), will not be eligible
for the Metro League, as one of the purposes is to help prepare for the
next year’s high school season.

|
Team Composition |
The NCHSAA allows us one team per school where high
school coaches are involved.
Teams will be formed using high school
boundaries as a guide. School zones may be combined on one team. The goal will
always be to insure competitive teams. Each team will have a minimum 12 players
and up to 18
players on a roster.

|
League Play |
The Summer Season will be comprised of
15 league games plus an end of season tournament. The Fall Season will be
comprised of 15 league games plus an end of season tournament. Typically there
will be 4-5 events per week (games & practices) weather permitting.
***Note: The Metro League games, and especially the end of season tournaments, will be promoted to scouts and college recruiters. We
have received a great response, and expect they will support our 2008 season as
they did in 2007!
