There is going to be a final round of Taunton Tornadoes / Twisters travel player tryouts to fill the remaining rosters spots available in all age groups. The date is Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 5pm at the Friedman Middle School Gymnasium.
IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING TO TRYOUT SO IF YOU FEEL YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR PLAY TO THE NEXT LEVEL THEN WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY?
There is a $125.00 travel ball fee if you are selected to play on a team (financial aid is available if requested and you qualify). There will be a couple fundraising obligations (tagging, meat-on-a-stick fundraiser and home tournament) that will be explained by the manager of the team you play for. If you have any other questions feel free to contact Steve Baptiste by email.
