For players that want to play more competitive baseball, Halfmoon Baseball offers All-Star and Travel Teams starting at the 7 year old division. All players must participate in the recreational program to be eligible to try out for the All-Star teams. The All-Star and Travel Program seeks to enhance player development appropriate for the age group to maximize the player's potential.
7 Year Old All-Stars
Introduction to competitive All-Star teams. The primary goal is to give the players the opportunity to play all infield and outfield positions except for the skill positions (Pitcher, Catcher, and First Base). The skill positions will be determined based on the player's ability with focus on safety. Player's interested in these skill positions will be given the opportunity in practice and in rec to improve the necessary skills so that they may earn the opportunity to play these positions in a game. The top priority at this age level is to develop as many pitchers as possible.
8 Year Old All-Stars
The 8 year old All-Stars builds on the 7Y experience to further develop the competitive player. Like the 7Y program, the focus is to further develop pitching and adhere to the pitching guidelines to ensure the health and safety of the player. The 8Y All-Star Team will play in several competitive summer tournaments.
10U and 11U Travel and All-stars
The 10U and 11U age group offers a Travel team that competes in the Empire State Baseball League in the Spring and an All-Star tournament team that competes in 3 to 4 tournaments in the summer.
12U Travel and All-Stars
The 12U Division offers a Travel team that competes in the Empire State Baseball League in the Spring and an All-Star tournament team that competes in summer tournaments culminating with the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament at Cooperstown Dream Park.
