The Palatine Travelers hold open tryouts each July to assess the players in regards to fielding, throwing, and hitting.   

ALL participants must be pre-registered.  

There is no cost to tryout and players should come properly equipped with protection, a glove, bat, and water.  

A non-uniform (house or travel) shirt / jersey should be worn to the tryout.

Full-time boy's travel teams begin indoor practices in January and run through March.  League games are typically played April through July with 3-6 in/out of state tournaments mixed in depending on the coach and age group.  The fees typically run between $1100 to $1600, which covers jerseys, tournament fees, insurance, umpires, and field rentals.  Some teams elect to play informal games and/or practices in the fall as well once the teams have been established.  Overall, teams will play between 30-60 games over the year.  Any questions can be sent to palatinetravelers21@gmail.com.
