The KYA Elite program participates in the Texas Elite Baseball Association (TEBA) for ages 8U - 14U.  The 7U age divisions will interlock with other surrounding city organizations in a Premier/Elite league.

The Elite program provides a higher competitive level of baseball involving competition among other area teams. The KYA teams will be chosen based on an open tryout to all those interested in playing. We anticipate roughly 2 teams per age division based on the interest and talent level of players at the tryouts.  Some ages may be combined if the numbers do not warrant individually age grouped teams.

Q: Can my child try out for the Elite program even if they have never played at KYA before?

A: Yes! The tryouts are open to all players regardless of their affiliation.


Q: Can I bring an entire team of players and form my own Elite team and play under the KYA banner?

A: No - We are only forming teams based on the tryout selection process.


Q: Will the Elite teams be able to participate in All Star tournaments?
A: Only the 7U age division qualifies to play in area All Star tournaments.  Other age divisions may qualify dependant on tournament play.


Q: What days of the week, how many games, where will they be played?

A: Spring season (TEBA) - Weekday nights and weekends, 12 to 14 games, ½ of the games will be played at KYA and the other ½ will be at a neighboring team’s field. Saturdays with some double headers (10 to 12 games) for 7U. (*Schedule is subject to change year to year)

A: Fall season (TEBA) - Possibly Tue & Thu (single games),Sat & Sun (double headers) 8-12 games for 8U-14U.  Saturday double headers (10-14 games) for 7U. (Schedule is subject to change year to year)

 
Q: How much does Elite cost?
A: Typical expense of a season (Fall or Spring) on average is $450* including uniform expense.  *Most of this can be offset by sponsorships and fundraisers.

Q: Will there be a tryout in the Fall and Spring?
A: Yes, there will be a tryout in the Spring to fill roster holes, allow coaches to make personnel changes and to provide those players that didn't play in the Fall the opportunity to play in the Spring.  Making a team in the Fall does not guarantee a roster spot in the Spring.
