Below is the announcement just posted on the Needham Baseball site. There has been a recent rule change allowing 9-year-olds (baseball age) to try out for AAA. This means that all Rockets players are eligible to try out for AAA. Those who have already played a year of AAA ball do not need to try out.

Baseball 10 year olds – All registered baseball 10 year olds are eligible to tryout for Triple AAA. Baseball 10 year olds who tryout for Triple AAA are not guaranteed a spot in this league and may be placed on a Double AA team. Registered baseball 10 year olds who do not tryout will be placed on a Double AA team.
Baseball 9 year olds - All registered baseball 9 year olds are eligible to tryout for Triple AAA. Players and parents of 9 year olds should give this option much consideration as very few 9 year olds will be selected to make a Triple AAA team. They may end up being the only 9 year old on a team. Registered baseball 9 year olds who do not tryout will be placed on a Double AA team.
