SUMMERSIDE | The 2020 Tryout Committee has been finalized.
Here are the members who will be serving on this years committee:
- Gary Barlow
- Mike Cameron
- Nick Hann
All three members have extensive backgrounds in baseball and we are excited to have them leading our selection process for our “AAA” and “AA” tryouts.
The Tryout Committee was created in 2019 with the responsibilities of watching, analyzing, discussing, and coming up with a final roster at the end of the Tryout Process with the BEST athletes on the list possible. The Committee will be is to be made up of at least three (3) individuals who will bring different sets of skills and knowledge when it comes to the sport of baseball, but also #Chevys Baseball. These individuals are appointed by the President of the Association and will have little and or no conflict to the Membership and or Board of Directors.
The goal for this committee is to provide a more transparent, non-biased, and productive approach to the Tryout Selection Process within the association. The members who will make up this committee will not be on the field helping run stations during the tryouts. They will be in the stands paying close attention to every detail and will have no interaction with any Coaches and or Parents during the entire on-field process.
The responsibility of the selection process for the final roster is not completely being stripped away from our hard-working, volunteer coaches. The Committee is simply being introduced to provide more insight, more accountability, and more resources for some of the toughest situations coaches and the association have to incur in a season. Following the Tryout end, the Head Coach for the respective team will have the opportunity to submit his own roster to the committee for review to which will be cross-referenced with their own. The final decision on a roster, however, lies with the committee.
