The TC Arsenal Baseball Program will hold tryouts for its 2026 teams on August 5, 2025 at Gutchess Sports Complex in Cortland. TC Arsenal travel teams play around central NY including home games in Ithaca and Cortland and attend 4-5 tournaments per year. Starting at the 13U age level, our teams have paid coaches with collegiate baseball experience. These tryouts will be open to players aged 9-18 years-old, as of April 30, 2026. The specific composition of team ages are still to be determined. The 9-10 year-old age group will be formed as a 10U team with a developmental focus and more modest tournament participation.

Pre-registration for these tryouts is required. Complete the form linked below for each player interested in attending:
