PSAA is a non-profit organization that offers Cal Ripken baseball programs for ages 4 to 12. The Recreation league selects new teams at each age group every season, based upon
evaluations of the players that have signed up for that season. All players are welcome. The evaluations are used to balance the teams - they are not "tryouts", because all players that register are on a team. Our goal is to make the teams as even as possible for the regular season.
PSAA also offers Challenge Baseball and Cal Ripken All-Stars for ages 7-12 and Travel Baseball Teams (Park Sharon Nationals) in the 9-14 Age Groups. The Nationals teams conduct tryouts each season (October for Spring Seasons, June/July for Fall season) and play in Charlotte area Perfect Game and USSSA tournaments.
