2025 Canton Cardinals Travel Baseball & Canton Nitro Fastpitch Tryouts



GCYBSA will be hosting tryouts for our Canton Cardinals Boys Baseball  & Canton Nitro Girls Softball Travel Teams.  The season runs from mid-April of 2025 through end of July 2025.  Teams typically start indoor practice in winter months.  These teams are separate from the GCYBSA fall recreational league.

 
The cost will vary by the team from approximately $1,000 - $2,000 depending on the team and the number of tournaments. The younger teams typically have a lower cost. Both the 12U teams may elect to attend Cooperstown for a week-long tournament and the 13 & 14U teams may elect to attend Cal Ripken for a week-long tournament.  There is an additional cost for those week-long tournaments.  The teams participating in Cooperstown or Cal Ripken will have a higher cost as those are typically week-long tournaments.
