Eastview Traveling Baseball does everything it can to ensure a fair tryout process and to keep down costs and time commitment for those who conduct tryouts as well as participants.
Tryouts are typically held at the Tostrud Center at St. Olaf College, which provides an excellent facility at a cost much lower ($25 per participant) than other available options ($100 per participant). Because of this we need to schedule tryouts during St. Olaf's Spring Break, which sometimes coincides with District 196 Spring Break.
Eastview Traveling Baseball conducts tryouts with the assistance of impartial outside evaluators who possess the knowledge to evaluate a player's skill at a particular level.
