Fall Tryouts

Fall Ravens tryouts are coming soon. The fall season will run from the day after Labor Day through the end of October.

Season Overview

·        Two practices per week: one indoor practice at Teel’s Baseball Facility in Wyckoff and one outdoor after-school practice each week.

·        Practice dates and times are still to be determined.

·        Most teams will play one game on Sundays.

·        Practices begin the week of September 5, with games beginning within two weeks.

·        Teams will move up to the age division they will play in spring/summer 2027. For example, the 12U team will become the “New 13s” and move up to the big field.

Tryout Information

Spring and summer players are encouraged to continue with the program in the fall. Any open roster spots will be filled with new players. Please note that making a fall team does not guarantee a spot on a spring/summer 2027 team. All players who wish to play in spring/summer 2027 must try out again in November 2026.

Tryout Location, Cost and Registration

Tryouts will last approximately 1½ hours and will be held at Wyckoff Memorial Fields, 475 Wyckoff Avenue, Wyckoff. The tryout fee is $25, payable at check-in by cash or check made out to Teel Ravens. Players should wear baseball apparel and bring all of their own equipment. Additional season information will be shared with parents by the coach on the day of the tryout. All players must complete the online player information sheet on our website to register: https://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=teels. This information is required so we can provide tryout results. Players should register for the age they will be on August 31, 2027, because teams move up in age division during the fall in preparation for the spring season.

ABOUT US   

Teel Ravens Baseball is a proven organization providing professional coaching, a positive environment and a common sense approach to the great game of baseball.

Founded by Garett and Sandy Teel in 2006, Ravens Baseball offers competitive teams at all age levels.   Games are played in spring, summer and fall and practices are conducted throughout the entire year. Coaching, scheduling, logistics and general baseball operations are executed internally with professionalism, keen attention to detail and focus on our player development.  The Ravens organization is on the forefront of the club baseball evolution. We’ve thrived and grown in the growing industry of club sports.  What sets us apart from many of them is our extremely knowledgeable, committed and reliable coaches.  They convey a comprehensive but accessible approach to our players.  The approach prepares players to go home a better baseball player than they were yesterday.

We look for a specific type of player.  Ability is certainly a focus and ideally we have players who can do many things well on a ball field but we ask for much more. We want coachable winners and true competitors.  These players perform in the clutch and pick their teammates up when it needs to happen.  These are the players that win championships.  They may not even be the most skilled or gifted on the roster but they get the job done with consistency, positivity, high energy and respect and make any team they play on better.  We want the player that stands out and that will move on to the next level:  an individual that sets themselves apart on a daily basis; whether it’s picking a teammate up, executing a sacrifice bunt with the game on the line or hitting a double off of the wall in a pressure situation.  Lastly, an exceptional player is one that can bounce back from failure.  Baseball is a game of failure and a player’s capacity to show resilience in the face of adversity is an immense determining factor in their success.

Work ethic, sound mechanics and a clear understanding of baseball’s fundamentals is at the core of a player’s success.  Training to implement and continually reinforcing these pillars is at the crux of our mission as an organization.  Through the practice of these principles our teams are always in a position to get better and stay competitive.  The Ravens have assisted and will continue to assist players of all ages to achieve their respective baseball goals.  

Our program has 2 seasons-a combined spring/summer season and a fall season.   Tryouts for our spring/summer teams take place in late October and early November of the year before.  Our fall tryouts happen in late July.
