Whiteford Bulldogs 12U Tryout for Field of Dreams Team

Looking for the area's best players to join our strong core and forge a tournament winning team!

The Whiteford Bulldogs 12U team will be holding travel tryouts for the 2016 baseball season! The Bulldogs are looking for the best players in the area to join our strong core to forge a tournament winning team. This team is a part time travel team with the benefits of a full time travel team; at a fraction of the cost. The Bulldogs will play in 4 to 6 tournaments including visiting the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, IA, participating in the All Star Ball Park Heaven tournament: http://allstarballparkheaven.com . We will also play a few games against local area full time teams while continuing to participate in the Chicagoland Sunday Baseball League on weekends and adding some weekday games as well: http://www.clsunball.com . We encourage our players to play multiple sports and will not start indoor practices until mid-January. Professional hitting instruction will be available for all interested players in November and December, to fit their schedule. Also, Whiteford’s fields are amongst the best in the area. The Bulldogs welcome all players to try out for the team. All tryouts will be at Whiteford (Goltz Park) located at 930 NE Frontage Road, Joliet, IL 60431. Players are required to attend at least 1 tryout and it is highly recommended that 2 tryouts are attended where applicable. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to sign in. If none of the scheduled dates work due to vacations, accommodations will be made for an individual tryout. Tryout dates are listed below – if you have any questions about the tryout and/ or the team, please contact Co-managers Mark Krieger (mark.krieger@gmail.com) (630)327-5402 or Jim Selinger (jrselinger24@gmail.com) (815)545-0299.
