Fall Ball

Play with the Ann Arbor Blues

Pre-season fall baseball has been a winning aspect of our Skyline Baseball experience. Here our incoming freshmen join with sophomores, juniors and seniors for an opportunity to improve baseball skills and learn about the Skyline baseball program.

There is a no-cut practice squad as well as tryouts to determine our Ann Arbor Blues team roster for games. This format enables younger players to get to know and learn from older players. If a sufficiently large number of players express interest, we will field a second team.

This pre-season league utilizes volunteer coaches (MHSAA regulations prohibit school coaches from out-of-season involvement) and is made possible by the support of parents. Games begin in September for 5 weeks. The schedule will be published as soon as it is available. See below for link to subscribe to Google calendar.
