It is PRAA's desire to accomodate as many youth players as posssible.  We realize in these difficult economic times it may be hard for some families to afford the opportunity for their children to participate in our sports programs.  There are many ways you can help.  We can design a volunteer program to help offset a portion of the activity fees.  PRAA has a financial assistance application available for those families in need to help defer the cost of partcipation.  We urge you to contact the sports commissioner for further details.  The financial assistance form can be found by clicking HERE. The form is to be filled out and sent to the sports commssioner for consideration.

Tryout Schedule

PRAA is proud to provide sports activities for youth.  In doing this we also enjoy being a feeder program for middle school and high school sports programs.  As our youth players enter into middle school and begin participating on school sports teams parents are often faced with the difficult choice of allowing their children to continue to play youth league sports at PRAA.  PRAA encourages our youth to participate in school sports because this is a very exciting time in their lives.  It is great fun for these kids to represent their school and communities while traveling to other areas to compete.  PRAA is a strong supporter of all school sports activities.  To encourage this participation PRAA is excited to announce the following opportunities in the Majors baseball challenge program.  This program is open for our 11 and 12 year old (Majors) baseball program.  To participate in the PRAA Majors Select Baseball Program youth players are now required to meet the following criteria:

Players must have been registered and participated in the Spring baseball league at PRAA.
--Or--
Players must be registered and participating in the Fall baseball league at PRAA.

 And (must satisfy one of the following)

1. Players must be registered and participating on any Middle School sports team.
2. Players must be registered and participating in any Fall PRAA sports program.
3. Players must be registered and participating in any Fall  sports program offered by any association or organization.

PRAA is excited about this opportunity now open to our members.  No longer will players be forced to choose between school sports and PRAA in the Fall.  Players will now be able to explore other sports, represent their schools, and still participate in the great game of baseball representing PRAA.

Players will still have to try out and be selected  for the PRAA Select teams.  Parents of the selected players will be responsible for any applicable fees.

Select Baseball tryouts will be determined soon. If your child is interested in playing baseball, please pre-register here.

Coaching

PRAA is always looking for qualified coaches to be involved in our program.  If you are interested in coaching or assistant coaching please fill out and submit the PRAA Intent To Coach Baseball Form.  The form can be found by clicking HERE. This is a 100% volunteer organization that could not give the children of our community a place to learn, socialize and play ball without the efforts of volunteers.
