This year NHBA will be holding a Prep Evaluation Day at 2:30pm on March 10th at the NHHS gym. This is not a tryout but we will use the evaluation in an attempt to form more evenly competitive teams. ALL players including returning 2011 Prep players must attend. Please have your child bring his/her glove with them. Do not report inside until 2:30 to avoid overcrowding in the gym, as we will be running the older division tryouts

We will be holding tryouts this year again on 2 different dates. All players eligible to move up or are new to the league in the Minor, Major and Koufax divisions must try out to be considered a candidate for a team.

The first and (RECOMMENDED) tryout is Saturday March 10^th at the New Haven High School gym.  Tryouts start promptly at 1pm for all 3 Divisions.  (Please have your player there at 12:30 to check in).

The backup tryout is on Wednesday March 14th at the New Haven Middle School main Gym beginning at 6:00 pm. (Any player that did not tryout on Saturday the 10^th must attend this tryout to be considered for a team. We strongly urge you to attend the Saturday tryout).

NHBA will once again have Fredricks Photography shooting team photos. This years team photos will be done on Saturday May 5th. Players will recieve a flyer from their coach updating you on the site of picture day and the times your team will be scheduled once teams are formed in the spring. 

Opening Day 2012 is scheduled for Saturday April 28th. As always there will be a parade starting at Park Hill Learning Center and ending at Havenhurst Park. This year all games will be played on our own diamonds.  Players should be dropped off at the Middle School parking lot by 7:30 am and walk to the Park Hill lot. Each team will provide a pickup truck and and an adult to ride with the players over to Havenhurst park. The parade starts at 7:45 am. Parents can watch and cheer on their favorite team along Broadway or over at Havenhurst Park. The opening day ceremony will begin once all teams have arrived. This will take place on Diamond #4.
