Congratulations to 2021 Marsden Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Roy Miller, Jr, recipient of the 2021 Marsden Scholarship awarded by the Roslyn Boys & Girls Club. We are proud of Roy, and we wish him all the best for a successful future.

Roy Miller, Jr is the son of Roy and Kathy Miller. He is a graduate of Abington Senior High School and plans to attend Montgomery County Community College, then Temple University, with a major in accounting. For many years, Roy played baseball for Roslyn Boys & Girls Club. As a volunteer he assisted with the annual Jack Howarth baseball tournament for nine years, served as a referee for the club’s intramural basketball program, and helped with fundraisers to send the twelve-year-old team to Cooperstown. As a student he was a member of Future Business Leaders of America, a recipient of the President’s Award for Educational Excellence, and a member of the National Junior Honor Society. A community-minded individual, Roy credits his coaches with preparing him for his next phase of life, writing, “Through the club I have learned how to work hard, be a leader, show compassion, have respect and integrity, and also to be a team player. [My coaches] were…teaching me the life skills I need to be successful in the business world.”

Travel Baseball Tryouts

It is that time of year again for baseball tryouts! To try out for one of our 2021 Roslyn Travel Baseball teams, you must sign both our standard medical release and a communicable disease waiver. We have put new protocols in place that must also be followed. Our various 2021 travel teams are based upon a player’s age on May 1, 2021. To participate in Roslyn Travel Baseball you do not have to live in Roslyn, but simply either go to school or live within our boundaries (as designated by Cal Ripken Baseball), which extend well beyond the immediate Roslyn area. To determine your eligibility, contact our Travel Baseball Coordinator, Roy Miller: coolhandmiller@gmail.com.

We will hold two tryouts at Roslyn Park (Hall Ave. and Anzac Ave., Roslyn) for each age group to accommodate your schedule and provide our evaluators ample opportunity to make the best decisions on rosters. You must attend at least one of the tryouts.
