The Mizuno Team Houston will be a
championship caliber team. I will choose the best 11 from
try-outs. It is not a neighborhood team or a little league
get together team. This team will command full commitment
from the parents and will be a tremendous amount of
baseball. If this something you want your son involved with
bring them to try-outs. If not, I completely understand.
There are many little leagues and many other select teams
out there for your son to play on.
In the fall, we will practice 1x
during the week and 1x on Sunday afternoon. I will have the
team either play in 3-4 tournaments in the fall and / or 2
tournaments and a Sunday game league if there is one
available to play in.
In the spring , we will play
between 13-17 tournaments including the super series or
USSSA. world series and compete for the elite 24 and
practice 2-3x a week. There might also be a Disney trip in
store. We will play in 9u and/ or up in 10uaa.
There will be a lot to teach your
boys about the new game of kid pitch baseball.
