2019 Player Evaluation Information & Requests

1) Evaluations are only for the AA, AAA and Majors divisions.  Remember that players are not trying out for a particular division.  Everyone makes a team and the draft sorts out which division players go to.  There are certain age minimums and maximums per division that are enforced, but otherwise players go to the division that is best suited for their abilities and that will allow for a positive experience.  

• Players that are not drafted into AA will automatically be placed on a team in the Farm (Single A) Division.  Only players Little League age 8 and above are eligible for AA, so players 7 and younger will not be trying out.  If your player is Little League age 8 and you prefer they play in Farm, simply do not come to tryouts.

2) Evaluations can be stressful for the players.  Please do not put extra pressure on them to perform at evaluations. We will have areas that are off limits to parents so the players can play and the coaches can evaluate. We ask that you check-in your player, give them a hug and release them to the warm-up area. Parents will watch their players move through evaluations from the other side of the glass.  

3) We will be moving a lot of kids through evaluations in a short amount of time to be respectful of your schedule.  In order for us to do that, we need you to be on time and ready to play at your assigned reporting time.

4) We booked an indoor arena to avoid any possible weather delays.  As such, this will be our only weekend for evaluations. Please make every effort to be there. If you cannot make this weekend, your player may have to be placed in a division at the discretion of the Player Agent.

New for this season - A 50/70 division is being established for players baseball age 13. The 50/70 division is an intermediate division designed for players that have aged up from Majors and may not be ready to move up to the Juniors division. The 50/70 refers to 50 feet from the pitching mound to home plate and 70 feet baselines. The new 50/70 will be an inter-league division.

Updated Snack Shack Volunteer Requirements - In response to Lakeside community feedback, parents will no longer be required to work in the Snack Shack or coordinate a hire out for assigned shifts. A nominal fee of $35 has been added to registration costs in order to staff the Snack Shack for the season. If you wish to work your shift, there is an Opt-Out section you can choose during registration.
