Toluca Travel Ball & All-Star Teams
Toluca Baseball proudly supports a Travel Division, an additional playing opportunity for Toluca-registered players who, together with his/her parents, desires a more competitive environment in addition to Toluca's recreational season. We offer three types of opportunities:
Travel Teams: These are single-age teams that represent Toluca Baseball in area "travel" leagues and/or tournaments where they play against representatives from other area recreational leagues as well as club teams. Generally run on a year-round basis -- often including the PONY Baseball All-Star Tournament -- league leadership does not schedule the travel team practices or games. Instead, a league-approved general manager, in consultation with the families on that team, will determine when and where the team plays and how much each individual player will play. There is a separate fee and scholarships are not offered.
All-Star Teams: For those families who seek to extend the spring season by playing summer tournament baseball, we offer a path to create an All-Star team. Teams are formed by a volunteer general manager and can opt to play in the fully-sanctioned PONY Baseball All-Star Tournament or one of the many other tournaments held throughout Southern California. While travel teams operate somewhat autonomously, the league is more closely involved with those forming All-Star Teams, including the player selection process (see below), uniforms and schedules.
Cooperstown Team: Exclusively for our league-age 12-year-old players, the league sends up to three different teams to play at Dreams Park in Cooperstown, N.Y. Dating back many years, this once-in-a-lifetime tournament has served as a youth baseball culmination event for dozens of Toluca teams. Teams interested in attending must fund participation on a 100% basis but the league offers advice -- and provides the mandatory entry ticket -- to make this dream a reality.
