Rawlings Tigers NOVA tryouts are open to players in the age groups currently listed on this page, depending on roster needs and available openings by season.

Players only need to attend one open evaluation date. A player may attend a make-up session if they are unavailable, if a session is canceled due to weather, or if a coach requests a follow-up.

Players should bring a glove, bat, helmet, cleats or turf shoes, water bottle, and any position-specific gear they normally use. Catchers should bring catcher’s gear when available.

Eligible ages are shown in the current season age chart and may change with team availability and roster needs from one season to the next.
