Don’t wait until the week of tryouts to start throwing the baseball. Your arm will be tested at various ranges during the tryouts. You don’t want to jeopardize an injury for failure to prepare now and cost your chance at a spot on the team.

All team rosters are open. If you played on a NOAH competitive team last year, you must tryout again this year.

The tryouts will last approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Depending on the number of prospects, it could be longer.

Tryout Location: NOAH Practice Fields located at 83rd and S. 129th East Ave. (between 81st and 91st) at the New Creations Church. There are no restroom facilities at the practice fields. The nearest facility is at the QuikTrip at the corner of 81st and Garnett. Please take care of business prior to tryout.

Roster: Each team will be limited to 10 or 11 players. Please note that if we have enough players to form odd age teams like an 11 yr old and/or 13 yr old team, we will form teams accordingly. For the evaluation purposes, we are combining ages.  Players must be homeschool.  Private school players that were on a NOAH roster as of 9/1/09 will be grandfathered into the NOAH baseball program.

Fees: Expect to pay anywhere from $200-300 plus $100-120 uniform cost.

FAQs

Will there be another tryout date if I can’t make these dates? Maybe but not guaranteed, we are looking to field a competitive team. Therefore, if after the evaluations there are not 10-11 players with above average skill, we could have another tryout date in November or December.

What if my son is not selected for the competitive team? Depending on his skill level, he could be placed on an “alternate” list in case there’s a spot that becomes available before the season starts. NOAH encourages all players to keep working on their skills and to play on the developmental team or tryout out for another competitive team. Life is full of failures and successes, just because they don’t make the NOAH team, inspire them to continue honing their skills. There will be developmental teams available for 12 and younger players. Developmental team signups will be January 2010. Last year, we had enough interest to form a 14U developmental team. Our first priority is field a competitive team. If there’s enough interest we will do whatever possible to have developmental teams.  Tentatively, developmental teams will play at Indian Springs this spring.

Who will coach the teams? I am in the process of evaluating and selecting a head coach for each team. I desire to have a head coach in place before the tryouts but due to the tryout process and number of teams involved, that determination may not take place until the tryouts or thereafter. The evaluators for the tryouts will be coaching candidates as well as members of the high school coaching staff.

Competitive Team Coaches
If you want to be considered as a head coach candidate, please submit your application to me ASAP and note team applying for. Of course it will depend on if your son earns a spot on the team.

God Bless,

(pictured Cowley College Head Coach Dave Burroughs, Parker McDaniel, Lannie McDaniel, Cowley College Asst Coach Scott Camien)


NOAH standout signs with Cowley County


Catcher Parker McDaniel of Tulsa NOAH (Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschools) recently signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City, Kan.

McDaniel, a four-year starter for the NOAH varsity, was named to the Homeschool Baseball All-Regional team after each of his first three seasons. As a junior last spring, he helped the Jaguars to a 20-10 record with a .383 batting average, six home runs, and an impressive .564 slugging percentage.

“I couldn’t be more happy that I will get to continue my baseball career at a college with the tradition of Cowley County,” McDaniel said. “I’ve tried to live by the philosophy of don’t stop chasing your dream or you may never find it, and it’s always been my goal and dream to play college baseball. I’m excited about the opportunity to play at Cowley County next season.”

Cowley County is a perennial contender each season in the Jayhawk Conference and also has had much success on the national level, winning National Junior College Athletic Association national championships in 1997 and 1998. The Tigers have won five Jayhawk Conference East Division championships in the last nine years.

“Parker is a player’s coach. Cowley County is getting a player that loves the game of baseball,” NOAH baseball athletic director Darron Replogle said.

NOAH (www.NoahJags.org) is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for homeschool athletes in the Tulsa area to compete in a number of sports, including baseball, football, basketball, softball and tennis.
