The AJAA All Star Baseball Program is to develop and maintain a competitive baseball program that extends beyond the recreational league season. This program primarily focuses on rewarding players that excelled during the recreational season and offer a more competitive atmosphere of play without committing to a full travel baseball program. We thrive to create a program that focuses on athletic development, but also character development on and off the field. Our primary goal and focus is to develop our athletes to become the best player they can be based on their individual potential and goals.

The AJAA Baseball All Star Program will be competing in Little League sanctioned tournaments and follow Little League Sanctioned Rules.

There will be (4) divisions for the 2022 All-Star season.

Players are required to bring their own equipment to participate in the all-star season. This includes a bat, glove, cleats, hats, baseball pants, and helmet. Participation to bat will not be permitted without a helmet. Player jerseys will be provided by AJAA.

Tryouts may include the following evaluations or assessment, but are not limited to the following:

●     Players will be evaluated by experienced baseball leaders, including coaches, and other non-affiliated leaders.

o  Fielding: Proper fielding technique and mechanics

o  Hitting: 

▪      General swing mechanics, contact, bat speed / power / velocity

o  Throwing: Proper throwing technique, accuracy, and arm strength

o  Pitching: Pitching form / technique, accuracy, throwing form, and speed

▪      Each player will throw 7-10 pitches; can be done with a screen or catcher.

o  Speed: 60 yd Dash

o  Intangibles: Varies based on coach and team needs for the upcoming season:

▪      Catcher position: Notes will be made regarding overall mechanics

▪      Parents (negative or positive interactions) can also be included in the overall selection criteria. 

▪      Sportsmanship and coachability of the player

 

●     Head coach and baseball committee will conduct evaluations based on mechanics mentioned above.

If evaluations are not able to be conducted, players will be evaluated based on spring evaluation scoring and coaching feedback from their 2022 season.

Head Coaches will be able to extend roster invitations to players soon after ranking and evaluations have been determined by the baseball committee. Players (parents) who receive an offer from a head coach, will have 48 hours to accept and pay the registration fee guaranteeing their spot on the team. If a player declines the offer, the next player in the ranking will be extended an offer until a full team is formed.

Note: Offers and regrets will be handled by each head coach.

The AJAA Volleyball program is a recreational coed league played in the Fall offering players 3rd – 12th grade the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Volleyball. Players will register for the grade they will be in for the 2022-23 school year.

Our program goal is to teach each player the basic skills of volleyball: serving, setting, spiking, serve receive, rotation, and most importantly good sportsmanship. 

Each team will consist of 8-10 players chosen by the coaches after evaluations. Coaches will emphasize player effort by following a team rotation throughout each game. 

Team work, communication, and good sportsmanship is a big focus for the program. Success is more than just winning. We encourage each player to display respect, effort, and team camaraderie on or off the court.
