ABOUT THE TRIBE
Tribe players, coaches, and parents commit to supporting our Mission Statement and Program Goals. For more details, please read our FAQs.
The number of teams at an age level varies based on how many qualified players and coaches exist at that age level. When entering our program at U8, teams are generally divided equally based on skill level.
U9-U12
Our organization typically fields 3 teams at the U8-U12 age levels. Teams typically remain intact and grow together from U8 through U12. Players that leave the organization are replaced by new players that come through our tryout process.
U13-U14
Our organization typically fields 2 teams at the U13-U14 age levels. Teams will be organized based on relative skill level. For example, the top 12 players will be placed on the “A” team. The next 12 players will be placed on the “B” team, and so on. The “A” level teams have a higher level of commitment in terms of time and finances. “A” level teams will compete in a top area youth baseball league and play in 6-8 tournaments, which may include more frequent and longer travel situations. Total games played may be ~40-50.
U15-U16
Our organization is looking to field 1 team at the U15 and U16 age levels. (Click age level for more details).
OFF SEASON PRACTICE
Our teams will practice indoors at the OAW Indoor Sports Complex located in New Berlin. https://www.oawindoor.com/
This new state of the art facility will have 3 baseball fields and several batting cages that our teams will utilize. In addition, there will be opportunities for athletic training and other services.
