2027 Norfolk Cannons Tryout Information
scordonorfolk • June 2, 2026

Tryouts for our 2027 Cannons program are now being scheduled. These teams represent Norfolk in Perfect Game New England. The latest tryout information will be posted here, so please check back frequently. Additional details on each age level will be provided by each manager, but the season primarily consists of off-season winter training and weekend games during the spring. Practices during the spring are also worked in around the town spring season schedule. Players selected for Norfolk Cannons must also play in their town’s spring baseball league to be eligible.

Age level placement is based on a player’s age as of May 1st in a given year. However, players who are younger but also the same grade are eligible to attend tryouts at appropriate level tryouts. Example: 10U is for players who will be 10 by May 1st, 2027. A player who turns 10 between May 2nd and August 31st who is also in 4th grade can opt to attend the 10U or 9U tryout.

Final roster selections are entirely at the discretion of the team manager.

Please feel free to reach out to the identified age-appropriate manager below with additional questions. There is no need to sign up ahead of the tryouts – this will be done at the field.

The 2026 KP Cup is coming up and shirts are available to order ! For those new to the KP Cup, this is an in-season tournament we play each year with Plainville and Wrentham at the AA, AAA, and Majors levels. The pre-order cost is $25 per shirt, or $20 per shirt if you buy more than one. Please order here by April 25th. We will also have limited stock available at each tournament site, but the inventory tends to go quickly so we highly recommend pre-ordering now! As a reminder, these shirts are not a requirement for the tournament! *This image is a mockup – we are still working with the vendor to finalize details but this is the design we are currently planning this year.
