Player evaluations help ensure balanced teams and a positive experience for all players. Evaluations are not tryouts—every registered player will be placed on a team. The evaluation process simply allows our league to fairly assess skill levels so players can be placed in the division and team that best supports their development and enjoyment of the game.
Who Should Attend?
Player evaluations are required for players who are Little League age 8–12 and registered in our AA, AAA, or Majors divisions. Players in T-Ball, Rookie, Farm, and other non-evaluation divisions do not need to attend.
Check-In Times & Group Assignments
To ensure a smooth and efficient evaluation day, please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before your assigned group time to allow adequate time for check-in.
