General Information
Make up Evaluations, registration and managers
January 15, 2012 | 
Author Hello everyone. A bit chilly on Saturday for the evaluations but it could have been 96 degrees and 450% humidity, which it will be in a month or so anyways.
There will be a make up evaluation session on Saturday, January 21st. No times yet but they will be forthcoming soon and will be shared.
Registration continues but not online. The league will do its beat to keep players on a team to 12 or less. To do that registration at this point has to be monitored. If you still need to register, you should send an email to Gail Mootz.
Managers…..they are needed. All of this evaluation stuff….soon there will be talk of Opening Day (perhaps big change this year……hmmm?)….and talk of practice and games. But it all cannot happen without team managers. WBLL needs a few…..in the Coach Pitch and Minors divisions. Reach out to Josh Strikowski for
Thanks a have a great day.

Online Registration Ends THIS Friday
Hello everyone. Now really starting to wipe the dust off the old keyboard since the Spring ’12 season is getting close being unwrapped.
The first step is to close online registration this Friday afternoon. This will allow the league to prepare for the player evaluations this Friday and Saturday. See post below for times of the Player Evaluations. You can look to the right for a link to start the registration process…or you can click right here.
YOU CAN REGISTER in person at the Evaluations on Friday and Saturday.
If you need to bring any address or birth verification information, you can do that as well.
Any questions relating to the registration process, please contact Gail Mootz at gmootz@wbll.us.
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.
If you have any specific questions about the evaluations or the process, please contact the WBLL Player Agent, Mike Razzo.

Coach Pitch All Star Tryouts and Minors/Majors Practices Tonight
Hello all.
Just a reminder that Coach Pitch All Star Tryouts are taking
place today at 6pm on field 6. Invited players and parents
should plan on being there between 5.30pm and 5.45pm to allow
for sign ins and player warm ups.
If all goes well tonight (i.e. no rain, see below), all tryouts
should be completed by 9pm. Players will typically do fielding
drills (pop flies, grounders, throwing and catching) first
followed up by batting. Once a player has batted, they are
typically free to leave and you are free to officially begin
your weekend!
However…not to rain (doh!) on everyone’s parade…yet. But
looking at the radar all it’s looking a bit “soupy” today. And
the motion of the rain to the west of our area appears to be
heading east. With the practices for the Coach Pitch All Star
team set to start right after the WBLL Post Season
Tournament…getting the tryouts completed tonight is really
desired.
So it it’s raining tonight, please be patient. Obviously if
it’s raining cats and dogs with no let up in sight with the
fields in a really poor condition and/or if there’s lightning in
the area a Plan B will have to be hatched.
Best bet to get updates on the field conditions after 5.30pm is
to check the league web site at www.wbll.us.
Thanks!
Fields are OPEN tonight
Hi all.
Reports from the fields as of 4pm today are that the fields are dry and
playable.
If anything changes and gets to me, I will update the site.
Thanks!
