The 8YO Storm and Aces team tryouts will be Friday, April 13, from 5:30-7p.m. at Tuckahoe Elementary. Please arrive for registration at 5pm. Players will participate in a variety of stations — fielding, throwing and hitting — run by ABR Travel Coaches and current ABR travel players. Players should bring a bat, helmet and glove.
Interested players must be 7 or 8 years old on April 30, 2018. (Six-year-old players are not eligible.) A second tryout will follow on Sunday, April 15.
ABR Travel launched the 2018 season for 8-year-old players with two different clinics — one outdoor at the George Washington University turf field at Barcroft in February and the other indoor at the Virginia Baseball Club in April. At both clinics, ballplayers worked out alongside their peers, learning from ABR-Travel coaches and program alums.
The 8YO Storm District team will represent ABR Travel in sanctioned Babe Ruth Cal Ripken tournaments (District, State, SE Regional) in addition to local and out-of-the-area travel tournaments. The team will be formed by early May with practice and limited play by mid-May. The program is designed to integrate seamlessly with ABR House League play and includes some travel/tournament opportunities during the House League season. In June and July, players will participate in games and practices multiple days per week, including most weekends. Play concludes by the end of July for an end of summer break.

Spring 2018 season is up next — contact us if you are interested
2018 ABR Travel open tryouts have concluded for the 9-, 10-, 11- and 12-year-old divisions. However, as our community is enriched with military and public service families that are relocating, ABR will always welcome new players into the ABR House and ABR Travel programs. If you are a service member relocating to our area, just new to the Washington, DC, area, or did not have an opportunity to tryout for the 2018 program in Fall 2017, please contact us and we will provide you with information regarding team opportunities. ABR Travel's programs include yearround elements, but with up to 3 teams at each age group, we're always open for new players. It's never to late to get in the game.

ABR Travel Ends Summer Campaign at Cooperstown Dreams Park
ABR Travel's Class of 2017 spent the final week of summer in Cooperstown, NY, doing what we do best — playing baseball.
The Storm and Aces competed against 104 teams from all over the United States and Canada.
The Storm went an impressive 5-1 in pool play to finish 17th out of 104. The Storm was also 1-1 versus the tournament's Sweet 16 teams. The Aces battled some adversity in pool play finishing 1-5, but lived up to their reputation of playing hard and challenging their opponents through the final out. The Storm was led by Head Coach Chris Cardinale and Assistant Coach Roland McAndrews and the Aces by Coaches Steve Wingate and Bill Gil.
ABR Travel congratulates the Class of 2017, their families and coaches for their remarkable run over the past 5 years and for the lasting impact these teams will have on Arlington baseball. The Class of 2017 raised the bar every year for travel baseball in Arlington and consistently demonstrated how youth travel baseball excels when it links with house programs. 1 Program - 1 Goal - 1 ABR.

Congratulations to ABR Travel teams at 2017 Doc B Summer Classic
ABR Storm participates in 4 out of 5 age groups and wins them all.
The Doc Bonaccorso “Doc B” Summer Classic is a wrap, marking the official close of the 2017 Arlington summer travel baseball season. This year’s Doc B attracted 39 teams from Virginia, Maryland and the District, drawing an estimated 600 players and their families to Arlington’s Barcroft and Greenbrier parks for four days of great competitive baseball at the 8 to 12 year-old age levels. A 13-year old age bracket was also held this year. The teams battled the searing heat and threatening skies, but in the end, each age bracket had a champion with some notable performances by many players.

- Winning 4 of the 5 age brackets at the tourney, the ABR Storm flexed its muscle at the Doc B, both on the fields and in the skies overhead. Heavy downpours cut short the 11U and 9U finals on Sunday evening, but both of those games were into late innings when the skies opened up.
- 12U – ABR Storm defeated ATB Blue 4-1. The Storm’s Chase Rubin pitched a complete game with 5Ks over 6 innings and on offense, contributed 2 hits and an RBI to the winning effort.
- 11U – ABR Storm defeated the McLean Dirt Devils 4-2. During the weekend, Elijah Hughes and Javier Murray combined for 8 RBI.
- 10U – ATB Blue beat the McLean Dirt Devils in a 10-6 game. The 10U ABR Storm did not participate as they were competing in the prestigious Cal Ripken Southeast Regional Tournament (see below).
- 9U – ABR Storm defeated Pioneer Legends 7-2 in a rain-shortened 5 inning game. Starter George Thompson and Max Troiano pitched a no-hitter game for the win.
- 8U – ABR Storm defeated the Pioneer Legends (2-0) and McLean Dirt Devils (8-0) to take the tournament victory. Pitchers Liam Finkel, Aidan Kaminski, Booker Lawson and Jones Tallent combined to pitch 12 shut-out innings in the two games.

2017 8YO Storm Win Winchester Showdown in the Valley Tournament
Arlington Babe Ruth's 2017 8YO Storm launched their summer season with a first-place win at the annual Memorial Day weekend Showdown in the Valley tournament in Winchester, VA. The 8YO Storm emerged from pool play as the number-one seed by beating the tournament host, Winchester. Sunday’s championship game highlight was a grand slam hit by A.J. M. during a six-run third inning, which paved the way to an 11-6 victory. The Storm gave up an average of just two runs per game in the entire tournament.
The 8YO Storm had a winning summer season. After the tournament in Winchester, the team went on to win the UMAC tournament in Maryland, the Doc B tournament in Virginia, and the District 7 tournament, which earned the team the opportunity to compete at the Virginia State Tournament.
