Player evaluations are held before the start of the Spring season to help place players in the appropriate division
and to create balanced teams. Evaluations are not tryouts and no players are cut
from the program.
Parents will receive their player’s scheduled one-hour time slot a few days before evaluations.

All players League Ages 8–12 are required to participate in Majors & Minor-A evaluations.

What happens at evaluations?
Evaluations are run in small groups. Players rotate through several stations so coaches can observe basic skills.
Typical stations include:
- Hitting (coach pitch or machine pitch)
- Fielding ground balls and throwing
- Catching fly balls
- Running from home to first base
The purpose is to place each player where they will be safe, challenged, and successful.
Scheduling & make-up sessions
Evaluation dates and time slots will be emailed a few days in advance. If your player cannot attend their assigned
time due to illness or a conflict, please notify the Player Agent at
[email protected] as soon as possible. Make-up slots may be available.
Tee-Ball Clinic
Players League Ages 4 and 5 (and 6-year-olds choosing Tee-Ball) should attend the league’s
Tee-Ball Clinic. This is a fun, instructional session designed to teach beginner-level skills in
a low-pressure environment.
Clinic details (date, time, location) will be emailed and posted on the website each year.
