Texas Collegiate League

The Texas Collegiate Baseball League announced today that the league will hold a tryout camp on Thursday, June 2 at the Parks at Texas Star complex in Euless.

The Tryout Camp will be used to fill SHORT-TERM ROSTER SPOTS ONLY for the eight TCL teams in 2005. Teams will need to fill these roster spots until fulltime players participating in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament report. These roster spots will be for a minimum of five days and could last for as much as several weeks.

All fulltime roster positions in the Texas Collegiate League have been filled for 2005.

To participate in the Texas Collegiate League Tryout Camp, players must have played at least one season of college baseball and have eligibility remaining. It is recommended that participants have been involved in a college baseball program this spring.

The TCL Tryout Camp will be conducted by Texas Collegiate League personnel and coaches. The TCL will conduct a player draft of its eight teams immediately following the Tryout Camp.

The TCL Tryout Camp will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. and the workout starting at 9:00 a.m. It is recommended that interested participants register in advance on-line at www.texascollegiateleague.com. Participants will be required to sign a waiver form and pay a $25.00 non refundable registration fee on the day of the camp.
