TAPRC is working closely with the the TK High School baseball program to provide high quality opportunities for ALL Middleville youth baseball players. TAPRC will continue to participate in the TriComm League for our TAPRC rec teams at 10U-15U age divisions. TAPRC believes adding the Select Division will make our program stronger and give more opportunities to our players to continue to play in their community. At the TAPRC Select Division level, coaches will focus on strong fundamental skill development. Playing time is not guaranteed to be equal in this division. Player position and playing time will be based on performance, attitude and attendance. Players should expect to commit to 3-5 days per week to games and practice. Each Select team will play from 18-24 games and participate in two tournaments (TBD by their coach). Parents can expect to travel within a one hour radius of Middleville for away games.
