All traveling baseball players must play at their appropriate age level. No players will be allowed to play up to another age group except under the following circumstances:
11U-16U teams – If short players they must recruit from CDAA house league or take kids from the under age traveling tryout group who did NOT make a team.
10U teams – If short players they can draft age 9 and under players if there are NOT enough age appropriate players. The ‘A’ coach cannot take under age players if 11 or more age appropriate players have signed up for ‘A’ team. The ‘B’ coach cannot take under age players unless they are short players to make a team. At no time can an under age player take the place of an appropriate age child trying out for a team regardless of skill.

Coach Selection committe:
The Baseball Director and Traveling Director will put a coach selection committee together before the regular baseball season. The coach selection committee must have no fewer than three members. All decisions by the Coach selection committee are final.

CDAA funding of traveling baseball tournaments:
The Traveling Baseball Director is responsible for entering all traveling teams into their season tournaments. The Traveling Director will decide the appropriate number of tournaments for each age level. Parents of traveling players will be responsible for the repayment of the tournament fees at the first parent meeting and all checks will be turned into the Traveling Director. The Baseball Director must approve all checks cut for tournament fees . Teams wishing to enter more then the number of tournaments assigned by the Traveling Director will be responsible for paying and signing up for these tournaments on their own. Team parent/Team Treasurer/Team Coach will be responsible for submitting a financial statement at the end of the season to all parents on their team and to the Traveling Director for all expenses and deposits made on behalf of their team.

Reimbursements of State and National tournament entry fees:

One National tournament entry fee may also be paid by CDAA if a team QUALIFIES for a national tournament by winning a berth to the tournament in qualifying tournament. Any team registering on their own for a State or National tournament will NOT have their fees paid by CDAA.

Traveling Coach applications:
Traveling Coaches are not guaranteed a coaching position the following year. All coaches must complete a coach application each baseball season. If there is more then one applicant for any one position all applicants for that position must be interviewed by the Coach Selection committee. The coach selection committee must interview all NEW coaches.

Surveys:
Parent and player surveys will be sent to all families participating in the traveling baseball program no later than 30 days after the last game of the season is played. The results of these surveys will be considered during the coach selection process the next year.

Non Residents can play CDAA traveling baseball only if they have previously played in our CDAA baseball house league program the previous year and live within the CPHS boundary. Non residents could have the opportunity to play on a Traveling team without previously playing in a CDAA house league if there are not enough players to fill a CDAA traveling team roster. Non-residents living in the CPHS boundary and who have played a year in CDAA baseball, house or traveling, will have an equal chance to make a traveling team as any Champlin Dayton resident.
