When
Tryouts will be held annually in July for ages 9U-12U. Tryouts for 8U are soon after that, taken place in Oct/Nov, allowing players a little extra time for development.
Our goal is to field an A and B level team when possible.
The reason for having tryouts in July for 9U-12U is so that MBSA has teams in place for winter indoor workouts as well as participation in early Memorial Day Tournaments and any spring travel games.

Winter indoor practice are held at an indoor facility.
Regular season practices are held at the MBSA Complex.
Teams will play a 16 game season in the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League (www.lsfbl.com) between May and July.

Are travel baseball players required to play house?
All 8U and 9U Red AND Black Travel Baseball teams are required to participate in our House League. Our 10U-12U Black Travel Baseball teams are also required to participate in our House League.
The 10U - 12U Red players are exempt from our House League. We do this to provide the most competitive development for our players.
House League registration is separate and will be held in October/November.
Again, all Red level teams for age levels 10U-12U will be exempt from House. This will provide greater level of growth for our travel program and the increased opportunity for the House level players to continue to develop in key positions. MBSA is a community program and supporting our House league is a priority going forward.
Which league do the Travel Mustangs participate in?
All Travel Baseball teams participate in the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League (LFSBL).
