2023 Rosemount Legion Rosters Now Posted on Each teams home page.

Great job today by all players at tryouts. Thank you to all who cam out for Rosemount Legion Baseball. Looks to be a promising year for all teams. Parent/Player/Coach meeting will take place this Wednesday night (May 10) at approximately 7:30PM. All players were given a Legion Form 2 that needs to be completed and brought to the meeting (IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE NOTARIZED). Players were also given a document with further information for the season. Please bring your entry fee checks. I have already subtracted the $50 tryout fee on the document is correct. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Thank you again to all the players. The coaches are looking forward to a great season. Good luck to all the players as they finish out their respective HS seasons.

Thank you,

Great start to the Rosemount HS regular seasons for all teams. Here is some information for everyone regarding the upcoming Rosemount Legion Baseball Tryouts:

All players should report to the upper parking lot of the Rosemount HS Varsity field by 9:30AM on Sunday, May 7. We will be conducting a uniform fitting first for all players. Attached you will find a “Player Information Sheet” which should be filled out and brought with to tryouts. If you do not bring it with you, we will have some blank copies. You will need to know the following information:
1. Parents/Guardians Names, Cell phones and emails
2. Your complete address
3. Height, Weight
4. Graduation Year
5. Players cell phone and email
We are hoping to begin on-field tryouts on the Rosemount HS Varsity field at approximately 10AM. These will take several hours to ensure all players are able to get a good look from the evaluators/coaches.

****If weather does not allow us to have on-field tryouts, please go to TruPlayerz that morning. We will do the uniform fitting for sure there at 9:30AM.

***A posting will be put on the Rosemount Baseball website under the “Legion” tab if weather will not allow us to complete tryouts that morning.

If weather does not allow for on-field tryouts on Sunday, May 7 we will attempt to complete them on Sunday, May 14. We will once again meet at the Rosemount HS Varsity field at 9:30AM and go until completion.
You should make sure you bring whatever baseball gear/equipment you may need for tryouts:
1. Batting helmet
2. Bats
3. Catcher’s gear
4. All players should be in baseball pants
5. Please make sure you have appropriate sweatshirts and/or jackets
6. Spikes
7. Etc.
Even if you are hurt, please show up for tryouts. We want to make sure you complete the uniform fitting and also complete the basic information paperwork. Uniforms are being ordered immediately after tryouts so this is very important.

If you have not already signed up for Rosemount Legion Baseball tryouts, you still have time to do so. Please go to Athletechs and find Rosemount Legion Baseball tryouts. If you have any trouble with this, please let me know so I can help.

We will do our best to post all the teams on the Rosemount Baseball website under the “Legion” tab just as quickly as we can.

Parent/Player meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 10 at the Rosemount Legion in the back banquet room at approximately 7:30PM. We know all the HS teams have games that night and will adjust time the best we can to allow all parents/players to get there. This meeting should take approximately one hour. It is very important the player and at least one parent/guardian is in attendance. You will be filling out some paperwork, paying the player entry fee (minus the already paid tryout fee), be provided the JR Legion Sub State parent & player work assignments, turning in an official birth document for each player, be introduced to all coaches, and provided a brief run down of each teams season.

***If on-field tryouts do not take place on Sunday, May 7 due to weather the May 10 meeting is cancelled. Tryouts will then move to Sunday, May 14 with the Parent/Player meeting moved to Wednesday, May 17 at the Rosemount Legion @ 7:30PM.

If you have any questions, please let me know. We are anticipating four teams again this summer based on current sign-ups but could add a fifth team if needed. This will be entirely based on the number of players who are signed up and go through tryouts.

Again if you are injured, please show up for tryouts. It is imperative we get the uniform fitting completed and some paperwork filled out. We will only order uniforms once and can not wait.

Great to see we have great numbers already signed up but are able to take more players if you are interested. Hopefully this email helps with some questions but if you need anything else, please let me know.

Thank you,
Brady Sweitzer

Rosemount Legion Baseball tryouts are a little more than a month away. They are scheduled for Sunday, May 7 at the Rosemount HS Varsity Baseball field. Please plan to meet at the field by 9:30AM for a short uniform fitting which will be followed by on-field tryouts. If we have a weather issue and are unable to conduct on-field tryouts on May 7 we will still meet at 9:30AM to conduct the uniform fitting. The exact location will be communicated at that time. If weather cancels on-field tryouts on Sunday, May 7 we will move on-field tryouts to Sunday, May 14 beginning at 9:30AM at the Rosemount HS Varsity Baseball field.

Many of you have already signed up and we thank all of you for doing so. If your son is considering playing Rosemount Legion Baseball this summer, please sign up soon. It is very important we get as accurate a number of potential players as possible as early as possible. This will help us set-up schedules and plan teams.

The Rosemount Legion Baseball program is looking forward to the 2023 summer season. Some recent history of the Rosemount Legion Baseball program. The program has developed from one team in 2018 to three teams in 2019. In 2020 we were only able to field two teams due to COVID. In 2021, we were back to three teams. In 2022, we were able to field four teams. The Rosemount Legion Blue team played in the 2021 & 2022 Minnesota American Legion State Tournaments. The Rosemount Legion Green team played in the 2020, 2021 & 2022 Minnesota American Legion Tier 1A State Tournaments. The Rosemount JR Legion team played in the 2019 Minnesota American Legion JR State Tournament. The Rosemount Legion Baseball program have hosted three-four teams in the past but pending numbers could expand to five teams. The teams are set-up in the below manner:

Rosemount Legion Blue Post #65 – the highest competitive level (top team)

Rosemount Legion Green Post #65 – the intermediate competitive level (all ages)

Rosemount JR Legion Post #65 – players 16 and under (top 16U team)

Rosemount Gold – intermediate competitive level, players 16 and under (if needed)

Rosemount White – intermediate competitive level, players 17 and older (if needed)

Most players will have an option to try out for Rosemount Legion Baseball or tryout for a “Club” level team (Club level teams are NOT associated with Rosemount Legion Baseball). Players 15 and under are eligible to try-out for one of the Rosemount Traveling Baseball teams (Rosemount Traveling Baseball is NOT associated with Rosemount Legion Baseball). To be eligible for Rosemount Legion Baseball in 2023 the player will need to be at least 15 years old and can turn 19 years old on or after January 1, 2023. Based on the situation, it is possible to accept a 14-year-old, but it is highly recommended for them to play Rosemount Traveling baseball. All players who attend Rosemount High School and/or live in Rosemount HS attendance area (home schooled or open enroll at another school) are eligible to try-out for the Rosemount Legion Baseball teams with a few exceptions:

15U players who elect to try-out for and make a Rosemount Traveling Baseball team are not eligible for Rosemount Legion Baseball during the current year. Rosemount Traveling Baseball tryouts are usually in early March 2023 with those teams being finalized shortly after. Due to those smaller rosters, we do not want to take away from those teams.
Players who elect to play for any “Club” baseball team are not eligible for Rosemount Legion Baseball during the current year.

The tryout date for Rosemount Legion Baseball will be Sunday, May 7 with a make-up date of Sunday, May 14. Tryouts sign-ups via “Athletechs” will open January 1, 2023. Please sign up as soon as possible. This will help us determine how many teams we will need and assist in scheduling.

We encourage all players to try-out for Rosemount Legion Baseball but understand each player/family will need to make the best choice for them.

Each Rosemount Legion Baseball team will participate in 25-30 games beginning in late May running through the end of July. All home games will be played on the Rosemount HS Varsity field. Each team will participate in 2-3 invitational tournaments. Each team will qualify for post season play with a chance to advance to a State Tournament.

We are hoping for good weather this Sunday for Rosemount Legion Baseball tryouts but the forecast is for rain. We will plan to meet in the upper Rosemount HS Varsity field parking lot by 9:30AM no matter if it is raining or not. If we are not able to conduct on-field tryouts on Sunday we will transition over to the Rosemount Legion to take care of the administrative items we need to complete. We will still need to conduct on-field tryouts next Sunday, May 8 if we are unable to complete them this Sunday but doing the administrative items should help to reduce overall time. We will do the best we can to get through tryouts this Sunday but want to make sure it is safe for the players and also not doing any damage to the field.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday. If you have not already signed up, please take time to do so on “Athletechs”.
