Timeline and details

Baseball is a second semester sport. It starts in mid to late January and can go all the way into the summer in June. 

On the first day of school August 13 there will be a quick player interest meeting in the indoor athletics facility on the northwest corner of the indoor underneath the batting cages during the athletic period (8th period). August 14 and 15 there will be baseball tryouts for the fall during the athletic period (8th period). If you fail to make the fall program then you will need to change your schedule or try out for another sport. 

In the fall baseball will lift weights Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 6:30 and in the afternoon during the period do fall ball for 6 - 8 weeks. After the fall ball period we will continue to lift morning weights and get into offseason training through the end of the first semester. Off-season training encompasses weight training, flexibility, speed, explosive movements, change of direction, plyometric training and focus on strengthening the core. In the weight room we focus on protecting the shoulder and placing emphasis on proper form, technique and correct movement of weights. Everything we do that involves weight training will include incorporation of the core. 

January 16 and 17 there will be tryouts for the spring. Tryouts will start at the beginning of the athletic period on Friday, January 16. For Saturday, January 17 tryout time will be posted on sportsYou on the evening of Friday, January 16. Failure to make the program will result in a schedule change. 

We will have a baseball parent meeting to discuss program expectations early in January. Probably at the beginning of the week we have tryouts or the week before. To learn more about when that date is please follow the Celina Baseball sportsYou.
