EVALUATIONS
Dates and location are TBD
NO evals for PeeWee or Rookies
*Each player will hit 5-6 live pitches from a coach and then, they will pitch from a mound.
*If the player is not batting or pitching, they will shag balls and play catch w coaches.
*The coaches (and volunteers that are asked) will evaluate the players. At the end of evaluations, the league coordinators will get together and determine if any player should be moved from one league to another based on evaluations. This is not expected to occur, however if it does, all league coordinators will work together for what is best for the player.
*Example - if a 10 year old is registered for Majors, but they rate low and should be in AAA, then we will move the player to AAA. The goal is to get the kids in the league that is best for them.
*If players are moved to a different league than they registered for, a credit will be issued or if a balance is due, that balance will be issued to the account.
Parents: Please make plans to attend a mandatory parent meeting. Date and location TBD. We will send out email communication with confirmed info.
