Fondy Youth Baseball offers travel baseball experiences for ages 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U.  Younger age groups are tournament teams that play in our recreation leagues during the week and compete in  tournaments on the weekends.  The older travel teams compete in a travel league during the week and tournaments on the weekends.

TRYOUTS- Tryouts for the following summer's teams occur in August of each year.  Players may try out every year.  There is no guarantee to any player to make the team each year as it changes with player development as well as new players trying out.

COMMITTMENT- Travel baseball is known to have a higher level of competitiveness than recreational baseball. A lot of players considering to make the jump to travel baseball should be made aware of the following:

• Travel ball is significantly more expensive than recreational. It can incur costs from tournament fees,  practice fees, travel expenses, uniforms, equipment, etc.
• The season is longer and players are expected to make travel baseball there first priority from April 1st to end of July.
• There is no guarantee of playing time. The best players play. There is no guarantee as to what positions each player gets to play.
• A higher expectation will be expected with more games/practices more frequently each week and often on weekends.
• You will be required to try out and will be placed on a team.
• Rules are generally more closely related to high school baseball.

GOALS-  Focus of travel teams is on player development.  Goal is to further player experiences to help them better achieve their dreams as high school players as they go on to compete at Fond du Lac High School, St. Mary's Springs Academy, and Winnebago Lutheran Academy.
