The Palatine Travelers hold open tryouts each July in front of independent raters who 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.
