FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you conduct player evaluations?
Player evaluations are a tool we use to create balanced and competitive teams when there are multiple teams at a level.
Are player evaluations “tryouts” to “make” the team?
No - everyone who wants to play, will be on a team.
It is cold and raining, are you really still doing the evaluation?
Yes. Evaluations are regardless of the weather.
We cannot attend evaluation session. Is there a makeup session?
Contact [email protected] if you are unable to attend the evaluations.
My child tried out last year. Does my child have to attend Player Evaluations again?
Yes. All players must attend evaluations each year as their skills and abilities change year to year. The evaluation process is used to create the most balanced teams possible.
My child has never pitched before and does not want to. Does my child still have to do the pitching station?
Players are not required to pitch for their team, it is totally optional but we encourage everyone who is considering pitching to be evaluated.
My child has another commitment that day (basketball, club baseball, skiing, etc); we are just too busy to make it.
Our league rules require players to attend evaluations, and it is possible your player will not be placed on a team this season if not in attendance, unless excused due to an emergent circumstance such as injury. Please contact the player agent or the VP Baseball to request an individual evaluation appointment with the coaches, if one can be scheduled.
How are Player Evaluation scores used?
From the scores, the Player Agent and the Managers of the applicable division will determine the draft ranking of each player, from which teams will be formed using a round robin draft.
Will the Player Evaluation scores be posted somewhere?
Absolutely not; scores will not be released under any circumstance. Player Evaluation scores are kept strictly confidential by and among the Player Agent, the Vice President of Majors/Minors Softball, and the Managers of the particular division.
When will we find out what team our player has been assigned to?
Late February, after evaluations have been completed, teams will be formed and announced for Minors, Coast and Majors. Lower Level teams will be set at the end of March.
