2008 DHYS Tournament Team Overview

For recreational team players interested in a more competitive level of baseball, DHYS offers tournament teams for those players who best represent their leagues in terms of playing ability and sportsmanship.
Tournament activities create an exciting and rewarding time for players, coaches and parents. However, everyone should be aware of the commitment before agreeing to participate.

Tournament games (usually located in the metro Atlanta area) can begin as early as Memorial Day and continue through the Fourth of July weekend, with practices scheduled throughout the week and weekends. Success in a tournament can lead to an invitation to play in state and out-of-state tournaments, usually held in mid- or late July.

Selection Process. Players interested in tournament teams must submit the form below by no later than April 30th to the DHYS Director of Tournaments (see address below). In early May, league managers will meet to vote on tournament team players. Practices will begin soon after selection.

Fees. After selection to a tournament team, each participant can expect to pay fees in the range of $200, depending on the number of tournaments being played. This cost includes jersey, pants, cap, as well as tournament fees (does not include travel expenses).

For more information, contact the tournament manager of your league or the DHYS Tournament Director
(see below).
