About the Scots Baseball Club
The Scots Baseball Club is a volunteer not-for-profit organization committed to providing the Park Cities and surrounding area youth with a positive and rewarding baseball experience. The club has a volunteer board of directors who oversee the day to day operations of the club, including the hiring of coaches and managing the tryout process.
We are named the Scots after the mascot for Highland Park High School, and our program has the support of the community and our HP varsity baseball coach, Travis Yoder. We continue to focus on growing the sport and getting kids involved early with the hopes that one day coach Yoder will see them play in the high school program. We have access to the amazing HPISD facilities on the baseball and softball fields and operate our own indoor practice facility in the warehouse district off 35 and Inwood.
In the earlier days of our Club, our focus was solely as a “select” baseball club. Several years ago, we decided to change our mission statement to promote the Club as more of a recreational baseball community club, as we found out that there are more boys that love to play baseball over the dedicated single sport baseball boys. With this, we grew the Club from 2 teams to 15 teams over the years. While we hope to place all boys on a team to develop and play each season, we do have capacity limitations which require us to hold tryouts. Our goal is place as many boys on a team depending on room and number of coaches.
Our teams play at all levels in CFBBA (A or AA), Dallas Classic and in USSSA tournaments. We are trying to teach and grow the game of baseball, and we feel education is the most important for our young players. Our coaches are committed to putting kids in a position to learn the game and grow their passion for baseball. Their success will depend on what type of effort they invest in the game.
Our board of hard working volunteers will launch the season with team rosters, uniforms, payment, contracts, code of conduct forms, league registration, field scheduling, and more. We do ask for your patience as we work through it all. The coaches will be in charge of weekly communication to the teams regarding practice and game times.
Our Process
- Once you are interested in signing up for Scots Baseball Club, please fill out your first and last name and email address in the section below. This will put you on a list to receive information regarding times and dates of tryouts at Scotland Yard (Highland Park baseball field)
- Before our tryout date, we will require a deposit of $150 per child. You can provide that payment via our “team registration” page. An email reminder will also be sent out.
- After tryouts, an email will be sent to you with notification of your coach and the team’s roster. If your child is placed on a team, the remainder of that seasons fees are due. (Total fees per age group is listed below) If your child unfortunately is not placed on a team due to size limitations, your $150 deposit will be refunded.
- Your coach will then send out communication regarding practice days as well as instructions on registering for your perspective league your team will be playing in. That will either be Carrollton Farmers Branch Baseball Association (CFBBA) or Dallas Classic Baseball (DCB).
- Begin practices & communication about game schedules.
Our Fees
Season dues range from $1,100-$1,500 depending on the total number of players, teams, and coaches for each season. Scots Baseball Club is a non-profit organization that strives to provide the best baseball experience for an affordable price.
The $150 initial deposit at tryout will apply against the season dues. For players that are not offered a roster spot, the deposit will be refunded.
