2024 Tournament Commit Form
This form is for new and returning players to commit to participating in summer tournaments. Please fill in your interest and availability regardless of your ability to pay. We will do our best to work with players in need of financial assistance with fundraising and scholarships.
Costs:
$300 Universal Registration: All players must register separately under Philly Girls Baseball’s Universal Registration ( $275 with payment plans and a limited number of scholarships available, $300 Late Registration after June 1).
Travel Costs (Variable): Travel costs and reservations are the responsibility of each family with a limited number of travel scholarships available.
BFA Nationals Fees: BFA Nationals charges $3500 per team, and Philly Girls Baseball aims to raise raises enough funds to cover the remaining tournament fees for all of our players. Families should participate in fundraisers or may make an additional contribution or donation.
Other tournament fees: We aim to raise money to cover fees for other tournaments. If our fundraising goals fall short, other tournaments may require a fee of $50- $200 per player with scholarships available.
Roster Assignments:
New Players: PGB coaches will evaluate new players in person or remotely to determine that a player can safely compete at a tournament level of play prior to assigning a player to a roster.
Returning Players: Players will be assigned a team and division placement by PGB coaches on an individual tournament basis.
PGB uses flex coaching and flex rosters (e.g. in one season, a competitive 12 year old may play 12U minors, 12U majors, and 14U depending on the individual tournament divisions and overall roster numbers). Players will generally be placed in the lowest eligible age division unless needed for other team rosters. “Playing Up” in a Majors Division or an older age group will be determined by coaches based on PGB’s policies and safe playing criteria.
Commitment:
By answering Yes to tournaments listed in this form, Philly Girls Baseball will include your player in our overall counts for the team rosters for tournaments you indicate, and we are relying on your player in our overall counts. Players who commit to a tournament are expected to play.
A parent, guardian, or other responsible adult must travel with your player. If your player travels with another PGB family, you must submit a permission form (provided closer to tournament dates)
You agree to help with fundraising or other volunteer efforts. Typically PGB raises sufficient funds to cover tournament fees unless noted otherwise.
Local players will attend practices in Philadelphia. We will work with families to mitigate conflicts with other baseball teams.
You agree to abide by our parent and player codes of conduct and our recruitment policy.
If your girl plays baseball, we know she is awesome and we can’t wait to see her on the field!
