OUR TEAMS
Our coaches volunteer much of their time to the Gundawgs players throughout the year... not only at practices & games, but through planning, organizing, and other behind the scenes sacrifices! We love our coaches!

TRY OUTS
The Gundawgs program is well known throughout the triad. Tryouts are held for the following baseball teams. Each player is only required to attend one of the tryout dates for their age group. For baseball, please remember, the age your child will be on May 1st 2025 is the age they will need to try out for.
​
Example: Jason turns 10 before May 1st 2025 therefore he will need to try out for the 10U team. If your child turns 9 on or after May 1st 2025 your child will try out for 9U. This information is useful for all age groups.
​
The Gundawgs will field 1-2 teams per age group. We host tryouts in June/July of each year with a mid-year tryout around November to January. Once a player is chosen to be a member of a specific team, it is a one-year commitment beginning in August and concluding the following July. Tournaments are played in the fall, spring, and summer; winter training also takes place (with coaches’ discretion). Teams typically have two practices per week and play in an average of two tournaments per month (which may include travel).
