Player Evaluations!

Here are a few bits of information that might help you make the registration/evaluation process go more smoothly for yourself and our league helpers:

1. Be sure that you have completed the online portion of registration. You can do that by logging on to your account and making sure that it shows your player assigned to a division. You shouldn't have anything in your shopping cart.

2. Be sure to have your player attend the correct day of evaluations. The "league age" for a player is the age that they will be on August 31, 2025. Our playing divisions are mostly grouped into 2 year periods: Junior is league age 13 & 14, Major is league age 11 & 12, PCL is league age 9 & 10, Cal State is league age 7 & 8. Machine Pitch is league age 5 & 6 with sometimes a few league age 7 players. Tee Ball is league age 4 & 5. If your player is wanting to play in a division above or below their league age listed above, they should be evaluated for both divisions. (For example: If your player is league age 10, but wants to play in the Major division, they should be evaluated for the Major division (today) and the PCL division (Wednesday). Which division a player is placed in will depend on multiple factors (number of players in the divisions, number of available managers for the divisions, player safety, player development, etc.). IF YOUR PLAYER IS LEAGUE AGE 7 AND YOU WANT THEM TO PLAY IN THE MACHINE PITCH DIVISION, THEY SHOULD STILL BE EVALUATED FOR CAL STATE ON THURSDAY. This will allow you to make a more informed decisions. You will see your player being evaluated with other players their age, and we will have managers and other evaluators that can give you helpful feedback about your player after the evaluations. If you have a player that will be evaluated for more than one division, please let us know when you check in.

3. ALL PLAYERS NEED TO COME TO EVALUATIONS. (Junior, Tee Ball, and Machine Pitch division players still need to come by to pick up their box of candy bars, be sized and confirm spelling for their jerseys, confirm that we have any teammate requests for Tee Ball and Machine Pitch players, and make sure that we have all of the documents needed to complete registration.

4. Evaluation Schedule and Process:
For players being evaluated, first bring them to the 3rd base side of the softball field to check in immediately. They will be given a number. They can then put their gear in the dugout and wait for further instruction.

If you have players with siblings in the same division, please make sure we know that. There are some players with the same last name, and siblings with different last names. We haven't had time to check everyone's family tree, so just make sure we know about siblings in the same division in order to keep them on the same team.

Registration items, candy bars, and jersey sizing will take place on the 1st base side of the softball field.

Here is the schedule for evaluations:
Monday, January 20th: Major Division (Players who will be ages 11 & 12 on 8/31/25)
Wednesday, January 22nd: PCL Division (Players who will be ages 9 & 10 on 8/31/25)
Thursday, January 23rd: Cal State Division (Players who will be ages 7 & 8 on 8/31/25)
Evaluations will take place at the softball field at Live Oak Park.
Players being evaluated will be given opportunities to field, pitch, hit and run for the managers of the teams to prepare for their drafts.
Players should check in and warm up at 5:30PM. They should bring their baseball gear (glove, bat, helmet, hat). Be sure to have your player check in before trying to complete any other registration items.
Evaluations will begin at 6PM and could last anywhere between 1 and 2 hours.

Players in the Major, PCL and Cal State divisions will not be placed on a team if they are not evaluated.

BEFORE LEAVING EVALUATIONS YOU SHOULD:
1. Have your player sized for their jersey and verify that the spelling and number preferences are correct. (We place our order based on what is on the sheet at the end of evaluations, and we place it as soon as teams are formed. You will be responsible to pay for any jersey changes, so be sure to double-check the sheet.)
2. Make sure you have picked up your box of candy bars. (You can take more than one box. We will award prizes to the top sellers at Opening Ceremonies.)
3. Make sure we aren't missing anything for registration. (Medical forms, payments, birth certificates, etc.)
4. Make sure that we have any playing requests noted. (This only applies to Tee Ball and Machine Pitch teams.)
