NEW JERSEY THOROUGHBREDS baseball
PROGRAM INFORMATION / FAQS
-
100% fully committed player: After successful tryouts, should you receive an invitation to join the team, your commitment is dedicated solely to us. Exceptions can be made in cases of pre-communicated unavailability, especially relevant for pitchers and catchers. Participating in town district teams, little league, and school ball teams is permissible. However, engaging with any other travel baseball organization would categorize you as a part-time player. If you are involved in another sport, we are open to discussing a personalized plan for your participation.
Part-time players and fill-in players are required to pay a flat fee of $200 upfront before each event, along with a fee for each attended event, to be billed at the end of the month.
Practice players pay per session, with scrimmage invitations exclusive. Participation in league games or tournaments is not an option for practice players.
