Little League® player evaluations, also referred to as tryouts, are an annual activity to fill out rosters in each of our baseball and softball divisions.
All managers, nominated by the League President and approved by the league’s Board of Directors for the current season, must attend the tryout so they can assess players for their own reference. We ask those interested in being an assistant coach to please plan to be at tryouts to help fun drills & keep the players engaged and paying attention so no one gets hurt.
There are five recommended areas in which each candidate should be given the opportunity to compete with children having the same league age:
1. Batting/bunting
2. Fielding fly balls
3. Fielding ground balls
4. Throwing
5. Running
We will attempt to evaluate players in all 5 of these areas, weather permitting.
There will be players who, based on their birthdate, have only 1 division they are eligible. For those who are eligible for more, coaches will use their evaluations to draft them into the best division for them.
It is important that coaches get to see all players so they can draft teams that are well balanced, yet still competitive. Please plan to have your player at evaluations on March 11th.
