Green Brook Baseball Community,
Evaluations are complete as of last weekend! We saw over 130 players in the Majors, Minors, Hybrid and Coach Pitch Divisions. We truly believe this is an important process and sets GB Baseball apart as we try to assess each player in order to make the draft balanced and the teams competitive. If you were unable to attend, please do not worry! We will place players accordingly.
First session of TBALL! We are very excited to see of the players! We will do our best to bring the equipment exchange to the training facility this weekend in case you need gear and we will always have it open once the Shack opens in warmer weather. GB Baseball operates a FREE Equipment Exchange where parents of older players can donate gently used items that their player has outgrown to the next generation of baseball players. Parents (especially TBall and Coach Pitch) are encouraged to look through the items that have been donated before buying new equipment for the season. We often have bats, gloves, helmets, and cleats that are in great shape!

We have to split the sessions due to space constraints so please follow the breakdown based on the first letter of your last name. If you cannot attend your scheduled session it is fine to switch to the other (in the same level) and you do not need to let us know - -just show up to the different session!. Additionally, we realize the schedule is slightly different than we originally anticipated. We are having unexpectedly high levels of players registering which means we will have a great season but we just have to make a few adjustments!
Also, we ask that parents refrain from entering the building if possible (TBall is exempt from this requirement – just socially distance and only 1 parent/guardian!). There will be plenty of Board members and coaches. We will be taking temperatures and will send a required COVID form on the day of the trainings.
The facility is located in Sansone Plaza - 319 Rt. 22 East in Green Brook (House of Thai restaurant, Reefco, etc. The entrance is around back - Door #2.
Please try not to cause a traffic jam when picking up players. It prevents the next team from getting in on time!
The tentative remaining pre-season schedule is below:
FRI 3/12/2021 Majors, Minors, Hybrid and Coach Pitch Teams Selected
SAT 3/13/2021 Indoor Training Hybrid, Coach Pitch & TBall. *Possible* Outdoor Training for Majors and Minors (Weather Permitting)
