Spring Select

FINAL DETAILS ARE PENDING FOR SPRING SELECT 2023.

The Spring Select program is intended to be a competitive program that lasts about 6-8 weeks for the 8U and older divisions. The purpose of this league is to prepare the teams for the All-Stars program. The Spring Select program is NOT a requirement to be an All-Star and participation on the Select Team does NOT guarantee a spot on the All-Star team.

The Spring Select program is IN ADDITION to the recreational Spring Season play; player must participate in SMGSA's Spring Ball League. Players are not required to be present for every game, but must show a strong level of commitment and must give coaches/team notice when they will not be available.

The Spring Select team will be selected by the Select Team coaches. Prior participation on a Select team does not guarantee a spot on the Spring Select Team. Coaches will use Try-Outs, prior performance, position skillset demands, and other measures to help craft the team. There is no guarantee for playing time or positions during the Select Season.

START DATE: January 1, 2022 (Up to 2 events a week which include practices and games.)

COSTS: There will be an additional cost to participate in the Spring Select program that will help cover jerseys, umpires, gear, and possible tournaments.
