Evaluations
- What are player evaluations?
Player evaluations are required by Little League International. Evaluations are not tryouts; all registered players will be placed on a team.
They are an opportunity for the players to perform basic baseball skills (hitting, throwing, catching, fielding) to determine if the player has
the skills to safely participate in the division and for volunteer managers to observe each player's skills to inform them during player
drafts.
- When are player evaluations held?
Player evaluations are held in March. Evaluations for Baseball Players are typically held the first weekend of March. Evaluations for
Softball Programs are usually held mid-March.
- Who attends player evaluations?
All registered players between 6 and 12 years old.
- My child attended evaluations last year, does he/she have to attend again this year?
Yes, all players should attend evaluations.
- What will happen during the evaluations, and what should my child bring?
Each player will participate in basic drills to assess fielding, hitting, and pitching skills appropriate for the division they are registered in.

Player Placement- How will my child be selected to a team?
Teams in the AAA and Majors Divisions are drafted following Little League International rules and division plans. Teams in AA, A and Rookie Divisions are assigned by Division Coordinators working with the League Player Agent.
- Can I request my child to be with a specific teammate or coach?
Teammate and Coach requests are permitted for Rookie, A and AA divisions. We will do our best to honor all requests but we can't guarantee the request. Requests are not permitted for AAA and Majors Divisions because they follow a draft format that doesn't allow for requests.
