Player Evaluations
All players who are Little League ages 8-12 that would like to considered for AA, AAA, or Majors Divisions must be evaluated before the season begins. For players who would like to remain in the Farm or Instructional Divisions (ages 5-8 only), evaluations are NOT required. Evaluations are held in 30 minute increments over a two day period, usually in groups of 12-14 players, divided by age group.
**Parents must register for evaluation slots in advance.
**There will be blocks of time available for each age group on both days of evaluations.
**Players need only attend one session on one day.
**Players should bring a baseball glove, cleats (or tennis shoes if indoors), a bat and a helmet. Balls (only) will be provided.
**Evaluations are generally held at Buckeye Fields (711 St. Mary's Road) in late January. In the event of rain, the evaluations will be moved to the Multipurpose Room at Stanley Middle School.
