About the 2010 Individual Player Draft
Description of the 2010 Garden
State Baseball League:
In 2010, Garden State Baseball will provide teams with a competitive wood
bat baseball league. We will do all the work for teams to get their players
registered and ready to play. With 9 years of experience Garden State
Baseball prides it self on making sure teams play the best baseball New
Jersey can offer. The GSBL offers a great High School Program that offers a
feeder program for age’s 14, and 15+16. This is a great feeder program for
High School to see that their future varsity players get the experience they
will need to play on a varsity team. The GSBL Wood Bat Summer and Fall
League for ages 14 up to College Unlimited provides teams with a fun, safe,
and very competitive baseball league. We keep to tradition by only using
wood bats year round.
In order to get on a team the whole process starts with a draft. The
application fee to register is $55.00 a player. In most cases this fee will
save you the cost and hassles of traveling from team to team searching for
the right fit. Finding a team can be a lengthy, time consuming, and a
frustrating process. Our draft works with many teams to help players locate
the closest team to their house and one that needs a player. In most cases
when a team reaches out for you it is because they are very interested in
you and you fit the needs of their team. There are several teams that have
openings. The Garden State Baseball League builds teams and will fill many
of its openings through this draft. In addition there are several other
independent teams who have openings so there are among many other possible
independent teams that may draft you.
We know you will have many questions that you would like answered before
choosing a team but before anyone can start answering questions like where
the team is based, how many practices they have, etc you will have to wait
until you are drafted by a team. The reason is simple; every team is
different and they have different schedules. They also have different
budgets and require different commitments. The draft helps you by giving you
eliminating time and time is money. You will not commit to any team until
you talk with the coach and you are completely satisfied with the team and
execute a team/player contract. If you do not like the team that drafts you
for whatever reason you can decline that team and request to go back into
the draft and be redrafted without paying another draft fee. Don’t worry
though because if we can’t find you a team to play on we will just refund
your draft fee. The key is to register before April so you do not limit the
options of teams close to your house once they are filled up! There are no
refunds for players who turn down teams because of distance. Please
remember we run a travel league. You have to be willing to travel to play
against the better competition! Once you attend your 2nd meeting with the
same team then is your draft complete.
The GSBL Individual Player Draft is for ballplayers ages 14 years old up to
College Unlimited. Players will have the opportunity to play all year round
in 3 different seasons and possible winter training.
