The kickoff to our Spring 2023 season
begins with Player Evaluations (Tryouts) for players in the Farm through
Major Divisions starting on January 18th. Players need to complete registration and document review, PRIOR to participating in evaluations and being placed on a team. You can still complete registration if you haven't, but space is limited, and waitlists will apply once space is filled.
Who needs to participate in Evaluations? All players league age 7-12 registered in the Farm, Single A, Double A, Triple A and Major Divisions. It
is in the best interests of all players to participate in evaluations.
Please note that players may be drafted in ANY division they league age
qualify for, and this may be different then the division registered in. For
the Spring season, teams are formed via drafts and the evaluations
allow team managers to assess players' skill level before selecting them
to teams. This
allows for balanced teams and ensures that players are selected in the
division best suited for their experience and skill level.
Who does NOT participate in evaluations? Players
aged 4-6 (T-ball and Farm 6 year olds) and 13-16 (Intermediate, Junior
and Senior). These players will receive separate notifications regarding
team assignments before Feb 1st.

What if my player is unable to participate in evaluations? Players who participate in evaluations will be available to be selected by specific team managers during the team drafts. Players
who do not participate in evaluations will be Blind Drafted onto a team
(drawn out of a hat, instead of being selected by managers). All registered players will be placed on a team, but it is best from them to be evaluated and drafted.
What happens in the Evaluation Process:
- First, players check-in to receive a player number sticker, and card assignment
- Let
your players know that evaluations are just the first practice of their
Spring season. They just need to be themselves and try their best in
the assigned drills.
- Players
should be prepared for baseball activity, including exercise clothes
(i.e. baseball pants, sweats or shorts, baseball hat), cleats, glove,
helmet and bat
- Once
checked in, the player's will be called (by assigned card) to one of the
dugouts when it is time for their evaluations. We will announce Card
numbers at the park and via social media. We will also have an
estimated time for each card.
- Players need to be immediately ready when called to the field
- Players
will have the opportunity to field fly balls, ground balls, make throws
and bat during the evaluation. They will be excused immediately after
completing their drills
- Managers will be seated in the outfield so they can observe each player in drills
Team
drafts will be the last week of January and families will be notified
of their team assignment by their manager by February 1st.
