2011 Player Registration Information

Players born on or after January 1, 1992 (including HS graduates), and who attend(ed) St. Anthony Village High School, are eligible to register and tryout for Tri-City Blue. Players who attend other high schools may also be eligible, depending upon the location of their permanent home address and/or the proximity of other Legion teams to their home address/school. We, of course, welcome eligible players from schools other than St. Anthony to register and try out with Tri-City Blue! (Due to the complexitites with American Legion Baseball rostering rules, to confirm eligibility in such cases, please contact us, providing school of attendnace and permanent address.)

2011 registration form (printable, for completion). Instructions for its submittal, as well as further information about registraton and tryouts, are contained in the registration form itself.
