Travel Teams: Three teams (one each for players at the 13, 14 and 15 age levels) are selected on the basis of pre-season tryouts to compete in the highest level Metro Baseball League (MBL) division (AAA). The Metro Baseball League games will involve home and away games against similar teams from a region generally encompassing the Southwestern Metro area.  Typically, Metro Baseball League teams play a 16-game regular season schedule plus a year-end tournament.  In addition, Travel teams will play in approximately 4-5 weekend tournaments in May, June and July.  Each Travel team will have 12-15 players.  

The goals of HBA Travel are to:

  • compete successfully in our league and tournaments, and
  • develop players for the high school level.

In turn, competition and time commitments are high.  It's very rewarding, but we want to set expectations for those new to Travel Baseball.  Each of these teams will compete in a minimum three or four regular season tournaments with the opportunity to compete on one or two state tournaments at their respective levels.
