To Ripken AA, AAA and Majors families,  Burlington will be having tryouts for our summer Baystate Teams on 5/20 and 5/21 at Lower Simonds.  The 10 year old tryouts will be from 5:30P-6:10P, the 11's from 6:10P-6:50P and the 12's will be from 6:50P-7:30P.  Players should be at the tryout at least 15 minutes early to warm up and register.  Players need to show up to only one of the tryouts and will not be considered for the team unless they are at one of the tryouts- no exceptions will be made.  There is a cost to participate in the Baystate program and games are held on both week nights and weekends in July and early August.

To Babe Ruth Families, Burlington Baseball would like to put a team into the Lou Tompkins summer league but we want to make sure we have enough interested players.  If we can't find enough players from Burlington we may explore combining with another town.  Please contact Summer League Director Mike Winn at to express your interest (please include your baseball age).  If we have enough players then we will send out information for a tryout date, etc.

Thanks,
Mike Winn
