Assessments ( Player Evaluations/Tryouts) It is a requirement of eligibility for all player candidates to attend at least one of the tryout sessions so that managers can properly assess the ability of each player and give each player a proper grade based on ability.
There are five recommended area in which each candidate should be given the opportunity to (1) Batting/bunting (2) Fielding fly balls (3) Fielding ground balls (4) Throwing (5) Run in competition with children having the same league age.
Once a child has been graded, it is the responsibility of the team managers, the vice president of the division, and the league’s player agent to operate and assure a fair and equitable draft that follows one of Little League’s approved draft methods.
Opportunity for a child to experience, grow, and excel on and off the field is what makes Little League unique. It begins with a child’s parents, or legal guardians, deciding to trust the volunteers in the community to create and operate a safe, healthy, and well-run local program.
Draft Week
All local Little League® programs are required to assign players to teams via a draft once player evaluations conclude to assure divisions are completed. Having a draft is not only a requirement in the Little League Divisions and above, it also allows for parity within your league that will provide for a valuable experience for all players and teams.
Managers and Players Agents will meet and draft teams and teams will be presented on Cap Day.
