Eligibility

The travel baseball program is open to residents of Green Brook and surrounding areas. Players must participate in the spring recreation baseball program to be eligible for travel baseball.

  • A player’s age group (7U, 8U, 9U, etc.) is determined by the player’s age as of April 30.
  • For example, if your son or daughter is 8 and turns 9 after April 30, 2025, they can participate in the 8U evaluations and be placed on an 8U team.  A player who turns 9 on or before April 30, 2025 would only be able to participate on the 9U team.  A player can only be placed on a team if they attend one of the scheduled evaluations.
  • Participation in the Travel Tryouts is mandatory for all players who wish to be placed on a Travel team.  The only exception is a player who is in attendance, but is injured and cannot participate.
  • Players are required to register and actively participate (75% or more) in the Spring Recreation Season to play Travel baseball.
  • Previous participation in the Travel Program is not a prerequisite for participation in the 2025 Travel Program nor does it guarantee the player a roster spot.

Our travel teams participate in both the spring and summer seasons and begin training in January.

Commitment & Schedule

The Travel Baseball program is a competitive-level program which requires commitment from both the player and the player's family.  Green Brook Gator travel teams participate in the USABL spring program which runs early April through mid-June and the New Providence Summer League which runs for the months of June - July.

Teams may opt to participate in holiday tournaments throughout the spring and summer season (i.e. - Memorial Day, 4th of July), and depending on the league or tournaments that the team participates in, may have multiple games in a weekend or in one day.

  • Participation in another spring sport is not prohibited, however, priority must be given to the travel baseball program. A player that commits to the GBBC spring/summer travel baseball program is to give priority to the baseball practices and game schedule in-season over other sports and club programs.
  • Due to the time commitment required, players will not be permitted to join the travel team if they play on a ‘club’ baseball team during the same period.
  • Prompt and regular attendance is a must for all Travel players. Parents must plan summer vacations to avoid conflict with practices and games.
  • Frequent schedule changes are to be expected due to weather and changing dates in leagues and tournaments, so players and parents must plan to be flexible.
  • All GBBC Travel Players are required to also play GBBC Rec in the Spring season.

Club baseball involvement has increased over the past 10 years and in order to combat that, GBBC is committed to putting together the most competitive teams with the most committed players. There is no substitute for playing for your town with your friends and GBBC strives to continue this tradition with our children by rewarding hard work, dedication and skill.

Team Formation

  • Travel teams will be formed at each age group depending on the number of players, the skill level of the players, and the availability of Coaches and Managers.
  • Teams are limited to 11 or 12 players, the decision to take 11 vs 12 is at the coach's discretion.
  • Tryouts will be conducted by independent evaluators along with league volunteers.  Players will be placed on a team based on the tryout results from outside evaluators and input from league coaches and prior year’s performance.
  • The travel program is focused on forming competitive teams at each age bracket.
  • Not all players may make a travel team, though every effort will be made to accommodate the maximum number of players into the travel program given there are enough players trying out and coaches to form a complete team.
