2023 Spring Evaluations

Player evaluations (tryouts) for registered players league age 7 to 12 will take place on Saturday, January 28th at Shamel Park (front field). League age is determined by how old the player will be on August 31st, 2023 (for example, a current 11 year old whose birthday is in August, is considered league age 12). League Age Calculator

Players are required to have completed document review (age verification/residence verification) in order to be eligible to be placed on a team. We will have a table for in-person document verification set up on evaluation day. Documents can also be sent to [email protected].

Residence Verification Information

Players aged 4-6 (All T-Ball and League age 6 players in Minor A division) do not need to participate in evaluations. Those players will be notified of their team placement by February 4th.

Players who previously played on a major division team during the 2022 spring season will not be required to participate in evaluations.

There will be a check-in table for players to visit and receive an evaluation number, and receive instructions on where to report for their evaluation. Players should be dressed and equipped for baseball activity (baseball pants or sweats, cleats, baseball hat, glove, helmet, bat). There will be a few helmets and bats on hand that can be loaned to players who may not have their own.

Evaluation Check in times:

League Age	Check in Time
12	8:30am
11	9:00am
10	9:30am
9	10:00am
8	10:30am
7	11:00am

Players who do not participate in evaluations will be blind drafted onto a team (random draw out of a hat), and will not be eligible to be selected by a team manager. All registered players will be placed on a team, but it is in the best interest of the player, managers, and league if everyone attends evaluations.

Based on evaluations, it is possible that a player may play in a division other than the division registered for. This is to ensure a balance in the teams and that players are selected in a division best suited for their experience and skill level.

Team drafts will be held during the week of January 29th. Teams are expected to be finalized and notifications sent out by February 4th.
