13U & 14U FALL TRYOUTS

Our 13U and 14U teams are part of Blue Wave’s High School Development Program for advanced 7th & 8th graders that want to prepare for high school baseball and beyond.

Blue Wave 13U & 14U teams are based at the Orange County Great Park, Irvine, CA, and practice twice-weekly (Mondays & Thursdays) on some of the best fields and open-air batting cages in Southern California.

Both teams practice on a 60×90 field, 14U teams play 60×90 games and 13U will play 54×80 tournaments and games as well as occasional 60×90 games as they “grow into the game.” And, the sooner a player adapts to the full field size, the better they will be getting ready for high school ball.

Besides twice weekly practice sessions, both teams generally play tournaments twice a month as well as scrimmage games on our home field.

Blue Wave 14 is coached by Jack Harney, a high school baseball coach at Beckman High School, where he coaches the freshmen team. Coach Harney is a proven winner and a top players and catcher at Beckman in his high school years. He ideally suited to prepare players to make their freshmen team.

Chris Reiland will coach 13U and is also a current high school coach with Aliso Niguel High School and has coached youth baseball for the past 10 years. Besides working with incoming 7^th graders, Reiland coaches incoming high school freshmen and sophomore players as well.
