Evaluation Information and Times
Hello everyone. The evaluations are THIS coming Saturday, January 14th. The times to be at evaluations, by divisions, is below the fine print, which starts here:
What are evaluations?
All players in all divisions (but for tee ball) are evaluated by an independent person/group in general skills such as throwing, catching, hitting and running. Each player will more than likely hit a few pitches, field a few ground balls and fly balls, run a sprint and perhaps pitch.
Why are there evaluations?
Players are evaluated to provide the mangers who will be drafting players the opportunity to view the skill of each player. Managers are encouraged to attend the evaluations as well.
What does your player need for the evaluations?
They will need their basic basic baseball equipment….just as if they were showing up for a team practice. They will need glove, baseball pants, cleats, hat, protector cups, bat and helmet. Each player will be provided a number which will be used to speed up the process of announcing each player before each skill. Thus the need for a registration time BEFORE each evaluation session begins.
What you cannot attend this week’s evaluation session?
In the past, there has been a make-up session to accommodate those who are unable to attend the main session. Each player is asked to attend the main session as a full compliment of volunteers will be on hand.
What if your player does not attend an evaluation session?
If a player is not evaluated prior to the draft, scheduled for Saturday, January 28th, that player will RANDOMLY be assigned to a team after the draft. This method helps abate the thought that not attending an evaluation session results in a player getting assigned to a certain team. Hey man, after all it’s the fairest way to do it!
Where are the evaluations?
As in years past, the evaluations will be held on fields 9 and 10 (the south side of West Boynton Park…..by the stake park).
What times are the evaluations?
- For the first time, the Juniors and Seniors will have their evaluations on Friday evening. This Friday, January 13th (yikes!) will be the evaluations for JUNIORS AND SENIORS ONLY! Check-in time is 6.30pm with the evaluations starting at 7pm.
- The Coach Pitch division check-in starts at 8.30am with the evaluations starting at 9am sharp.
- The Minors division check-in starts at 11am with the evaluations starting at 11.45am.
- The Majors division check-in starts at 1.45pm with the evaluations starting at 2.30pm.
