HLL is interested in starting travel teams for both Baseball and Softball. These teams will compete in 3-4 local tournaments a year from May to July. Local tournaments in June & July would be selected to allow HLL to field All Star Teams that will compete in the Little League All Star Tournament with the ultimate goal of reaching the LL World Series. HLL is looking at forming 12U, 10U and maybe a 9U and 8U teams if enough players are interested. These teams would be formed through tryouts (if enough players are interested) at the conclusion of the 2023 HLL regular season for teams to compete in the 2024 season. HLL is also looking at forming 13U & 14U teams for Middle schoolers looking for more playing time after the recreation baseball/softball programs are completed in early June with the goal of keeping previous HLL players involved in the league as either assistant coaches or umpires in the future. The 13U & 14U teams could be formed for 2023 depending on final details being worked out.
These teams (minus 13U & 14U) would be comprised of HLL players looking to get more playing opportunities. Players will have to play in the regular HLL season on their drafted teams in order to participate on travel teams. The HLL travel teams will be backed by sponsors HLL finds and the costs for tournaments, uniforms and insurance will be covered by HLL with the goal of passing minimal costs other than transportation costs onto parents. Teams will also be able to use HLL equipment and the Maplewood fields for practices.
Please note details are still being worked on and nothing is final yet.
