How do I determine my daughter’s age group?

A player's softball age is her age as of December 31 of the calendar year in which the season takes place.

What is the seasonal commitment?

Each team’s schedule will vary, but the general structure is as follows:

Fall

Weekly skill sessions begin in September and take place indoors at the NYO Dowis Building. Players are expected to participate in 3-4 fall tournaments. The fall schedule is designed to support athletes who are playing other fall sports and participating in MS/HS school softball.

Winter

Indoor practices and weekly player development clinics will take place. Practice time is more limited during this season.

Spring

All ATL Patriots players are required to play NYO Spring Rec Softball. Teams will also practice 1x a week and play 2-3 Saturday tournaments.

Summer

There will be 2–3 practices per week and local to regional tournaments throughout the summer. The expectation is to play 6 tournaments for the Summer beginning in May. ATL Patriots must be your player’s primary softball commitment through June 30.

Is my player required to attend both tryout days?

Yes. Attending both tryout dates is strongly encouraged to ensure proper evaluation. Early decision and makeup tryouts are not required unless necessary.

What is the Early Decision Tryout?

Early Decision is for returning ATL Patriots players only. It allows returning players to be evaluated ahead of the general tryouts and to receive roster decisions earlier.

Will there be a makeup tryout?

Yes. A makeup tryout will be held on July 31st, 6:00–8:00 PM. Additional details will be sent closer to the date.

What if we are unable to attend any of the tryout dates?
