What are the MAVERICKS and FILLIES??  Should my son/daughter TRY OUT?

Mavericks Baseball serves 2nd through 8th grade boys who play on teams by their grade level. These teams offer different levels of competition based on a child’s baseball skill level. Players are offered a roster spot on either our Blue team (A-team) or our Red Team (B-team). 

We will put together as many teams as our coaches determine can be competitive in their respective leagues. Blue teams travel further, throughout southeastern Wisconsin, and play in 4-6 tournaments. Red teams travel mainly within Waukesha County and usually play in 3-4 tournaments.

Practices begin indoors in late January or early February one day per week and then expand to 3 practices per week in April or as soon as the weather permits. Coaches may organize additional offseason training/games…it is up to the coach.

The player will put Baseball before other sports during April-July.  Kids can play other sports but we ask baseball to be prioritized and to communicate with the coach.

Fees for Maverick’s and Fillies Select Teams:  $420

• Includes 2 tickets to our Red, White and Brew on Nov. 16, 2019
• Does NOT include Uniform, Personal Equipment or Spiritwear

Tryout Schedule for the 2020 Season will be July 18th- July 25th.  Please check the website www.mertonathletics.org for the most current dates and times for each grade level. New Players are asked to attend both dates if possible.  Returning Players need to attend 1 date.

Any questions please contact the Maverick’s Director: Marty Laur  MLaur@directs.com

Fillies Fastpitch serves girls from 10U to 18U based on the child's date of birth. Age cutoff is December 31st. They are selected during the try-out process to play on our Blue or Red level teams. An assessment will conduct skill assessment stations for all players and stack rank each player (new and returning) based on total number of skill points from all stations evaluation data will be confidential.

Based on the total number of players at each age group, the final number of Fillies teams per age group will be determined. MAA will field as many teams as possible as long as the Evaluation Panel feels the team can be competitive in the league in which they play.  The teams play in 4-6 tournaments and travel regionally.

Practices begin indoors in late January or early February one day per week and then expand to multiple days per week in April or as soon as the weather permits.

The player will put Fastpitch before other sports during April-July.  Kids can play other sports but we ask fastpitch to be prioritized and to communicate with the coach.

Fees for Maverick’s and Fillies Select Teams:  $420
