The Georgia Dominion 8u kid-pitch team is holding tryouts for the 2012-13 season.
TRYOUT DETAILS
Friday, July 20 6:30 p.m.at Central Park, Field 2.
Sunday, July 22 2:00 p.m. at Central Park, Field 2.
We encourage you to attend both tryout dates if possible so that we can better get to know your son.
There is no cost to attend. If you are interested in being considered but cannot make either of these dates, please contact Travis Bailey, travisebailey@gmail.com. Confidential tryouts are available upon request.
Who are we?
We are a independent competitive travel baseball team located in North Forsyth County. We are looking for 10 exceptional boys looking to earn the opportunity to play baseball at the highest level of competition. The Georgia Dominion program emphasizes player development, team-first attitudes, character, and perseverance. Along with these, we will develop determined players who are mentally tough, respectful young men who keep each other accountable...and have fun along the way. Our long-term development goal is to prepare these boys for high school athletics.
What are we looking for?
The Georgia Dominion will select well-rounded, skilled, coachable ball players with great attitudes who are ready to take their skills and knowledge of the game to the next level.
How will our season unfold?
We will begin practice on September 1 and play in a few select fall tournaments. Through individual and group training sessions (both indoor and outdoor), as well as an at-home strength and agility program, the team will be prepared to take on our full schedule of 8-9 tournaments beginning in February.
We will be practicing twice a week at a North Forsyth Park that is TBD.
Who leads the organization?
A former player with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, as well as a collegiate and high school coach, Travis Bailey owns Rising Stars Baseball Academy (http://www.risingstarsbaseball.com and http://www.facebook.com/TravisBaileysRisingStars), where he has developed innovative methods in teaching, mentoring, and empowering several hundred students of the game. The Commissioner of Baseball for Central Park, he teaches coaches how to be effective leaders and positive influences. He implemented the coaches' certification program and assisted in pioneering the county's premier league.
Travis built the Lake Lanier Copperheads from a pool of 22 kids at the 6u all-star level and developed them into a force in Georgia baseball. At 6u, the team won third in the State USSSA Championship. At 7u, the all-star team became the Dizzy Dean Georgia State Champs. At 8u Premier, the Copperheads became a travel team and won the county Premier Championship and placed third in the USSSA State Championship. The team played 9u Major including Nations, Triple Crown, and USSSA (where they again won the state championship). Last year, the Copperheads placed 5th in the Triple Crown Super NIT.
Now Travis is ready to lay the foundation of another baseball legacy...Georgia Dominion Baseball.

| Parents- I am getting a lot of interest regarding our tryout Friday. A few families have mentioned that they have vacations planned for this upcoming weekend. If you are interested in having your son tryout but are unable to attend either tryout, please email me at TraviseBailey@gmail.com. I will be available to do individual tryouts Monday July 23rd and Tuesday July 24th. Contact me privately and we will work out the time and location. |
