"Play-up" exceptions are made based on skill level, experience, and player evaluation.  Most exception requests are made when a player is the youngest in his/her grade and"play-up" to be with their friends.  We understand this circumstance, and will accommodate the request as long as the players safety is not at risk.  Please contact the DTAA Board at dtaasport@gmail.com by March 1, 2017 for approval.

Tournament Baseball Program:  (May-August) is a competitive program made up of players from the local area who tryout and make the team.  The objective is to provide our players with an opportunity to experience the game at a more competitive level.  We aim to compete in a few local tournaments (eg Branchburg, Hillsboro, Flemington etc).
