Indiana Longhorn rosters for 10U 11U and 12U Fall Teams

The Indiana Longhorns would like to thank everyone who partici[ated in the 2009 fall tryouts.  It has been a very difficult decision-making process with so many talented kids.  The following will be our 2009 Fall rosters for the 10U 11U and 12U teams.  We will continue through the fall working out and playing some games.  At the end of fall this will be a time for coaches, parents, and players to evaluate the situation and see if it is a fit for everyone involved.  At anytime throughout the fall, players may be given a committment letter by their coach.  This will indicate the child is being offered a spot for the 2010 season.  At that time you can accept a spot or decline based on your experience throughout the fall.  The cost for fall Longhorns will be $100.   Please bring this as soon as possible.  Make checks payable to Indiana Longhorns.

2010 Tryouts for Indiana Longhorns 10U and 12U
The Indiana Longhorns will be holding tryouts for the 2010 season. All tryouts are open to any boy that meets the age requirement. April 30th is the birth date age of record. Your child’s age on April 30, 2010 is the age or older he will qualify for the 2010 season. 

The Longhorns pride themselves in offering a quality organization with some simple goals in mind. We want to get each child to the next level in all aspects of the game. Not only do we teach baseball the way it is supposed to be played physically, we teach the mental part of the game as well. All of our kids learn to play with class and respect while still being very competitive. I believe you will find that your child will greatly benefit from the Longhorn experience.

 

From the open tryout and call back game day, each coach will narrow down to a fall roster . In the fall, these players will be asked to play when available.  This format allows each child and family a chance to see if our team is a fit for them as well as give the coach a better idea if the child is a fit for us.  At any time throughout the fall a commitment letter or cut letter may be given to a player.  If a commitment letter is given to a player, at that time the family and child can decide if the organization is a good fit for them.

11U New Coach Announcement:  The Longhorns Organization is proud to say we have a quality coach that will help the organization grow and provide a high quality experience. Jeff Geesaman will be the new head coach for the 11u team of 2010. Jeff is from the Redkey area and has been heavily involved in the turn around of youth baseball in that area and coached some very successful teams. He was also part of younger Longhorn program this season. Jeff brings passion and knowledge for the game and the kids and people involved. He wants to get started right away compiling a quality team.
    He has plans on putting a quality group of committed kids on the field and taking them to highly competitive tournaments. He believes also in providing them with a quality national tournament each year so the kids may experience playing kids from all over the country. I am also glad to say that he wants to work our players together so I will be able to work with his group first hand as well.  His initial plans are as follows.
  • Provide approx. 60 + games
  • Provide national tourney (looking at 11u AAYBA WORLD SERIES ST. LOUIS)
  • Keep travel to a minimal while still playing quality teams
  • teach fundamental and advanced skills of the game
  • prepare a core group for cooperstown trip as 12s
  • workout with 12s and older groups to advance the kids level of play
