Officials to hold all-star baseball tryouts

  • Published
There will be all-star tryouts for military baseball players with collegiate- or professional-level abilities March 14-16 at Turtle Park Naval Station in Norfolk, Va.

This opportunity gives military members a chance to represent their command or branch of service in the fastest growing, largest and most successful re-organized military baseball program in the world, according to Navy Lt. Michael Ridge, military baseball coach.

Those who make the team will travel nation-wide and compete against semi-pro, collegiate and Olympic caliber baseball teams.

The tryouts in Norfolk will begin at 1 p.m. on March 14 and 9 a.m. on March 15 and 16. There also will be tryouts in other locations around the continental United States. The tryout locations are listed on the Military Baseball Web site. Click on "Schedule" to view tryout locations.
