Looking for young talent: baseball youth tryouts at the Devils

In December and January, the baseball department of TV St. Ingbert offers interested children and young people between the ages of 6 and 15 the opportunity to get a taste of baseball.

Tryouts translated means something like trial training. Nevertheless, the youth tryouts that the Devils will hold on December 14th. and will take place in January 2025, will be something more than a simple trial training session.

“In any case, there will also be a large unit of play included,” emphasizes department head Mark Unbehend and adds: “When playing, the special appeal of the game of baseball unfolds, which, among other things, is the simultaneity of the basic techniques of throwing, catching, running and hitting During the tryouts, the techniques of hitting, throwing and catching are of course also tried out, after which the rules are briefly explained and the game is played.

The tryouts are aimed at interested girls and boys between the ages of 6 and 15 who would like to give baseball a try. These can be newcomers, but also children and young people with baseball experience. From the club’s perspective, the background is that the Devils’ children’s and youth team is urgently looking for reinforcements.
