Play Ball with Grosse Pointe South Baseball!
Propsective Players for 2025 Season
Dear Prospective GPS Baseball Player,
We hope you’re doing well! As we approach the spring season, we wanted to share important information about Grosse Pointe South Baseball tryouts and the upcoming spring sports meeting.
Key Details:
• Tryouts: Coming up soon—dates and locations will be provided as soon as we get our facility scheduled from the Athletic Director. Tryouts could take place at Lakeside Indoor, South’s main gym, or the field, depending on weather and facility availability.
• Spring Sports Meeting: An informational meeting will be held MARCH 5, prior to tryouts to ensure all players and families are fully informed about the season.
Fees & Payment Information:
• $220 Pay-to-Play Fee – Paid to the school district via the athletic website. This covers umpires and transportation.
• Team Fees: • Freshman & JV: $400 • Varsity: $500 (includes meals and additional gear)
• These fees help cover baseballs, team swag, and other essential costs.
There are opportunities to offset these costs through sponsorship in partnership with the Athletic Director’s Banner Program or by selling ads in our program book and roster cards and Flip Give.
If you’re interested in fundraising options, we’d be happy to provide more details.
Spring Break Trip & Camp Requirement: Players who have been contacted regarding the spring break trip will be required to work the March 15th camp as part of their commitment to the program.
