• History and Mission- Arlington Cardinals is our full-time travel baseball program. These competitive teams have been in existence for more than 20 years and are known for developing superior skills not only related to the game of baseball, but importantly related to success in non-athletic endavors.  The core values of teamwork, overcoming adversity, and displaying an incredible work ethic color all activities that the Cardinals facilitate.

• Teams - Teams levels range from 9u thru High School, and players are selected based on ability. To be eligible for a given team the player must be the appropriate age as of May 1 of the year in question. For example, to play on a 2023 10u team, the player must be no older than 10 as of May 1, 2023. Tryouts are held for teams at all levels and the number of teams fielded will be determined based on turnout, generally 2-3 teams at each age level.  Note: Players participating in Arlington Cardinals Travel Baseball are ineligible to play in AHYAA house leagues.
