Tryouts are mandatory for all players league age 8 or older.
Tryouts are used to help ensure players are drafted into the appropriate division (AA, AAA, Majors, or Junior/Senior) based on their age and abilities. Check out the descriptions of our league's baseball divisions.
During tryouts, players run through a series of drills for the drafting team managers. The drills used for tryouts include fielding grounders, fielding fly balls, pitching, and hitting. Team managers evaluate each player's baseball skills, athleticism, and hustle.
During team drafts, teams are built in order of division. Majors division is drafted first, followed by AAA, then AA.
- All 12 year olds will be drafted to a Majors team.
- All 11 year olds not selected to a Majors team will be drafted to a AAA team.
- All 10 year olds not selected to a Majors or AAA team will be drafted to a AA team.
Players registered for the Juniors/Seniors division are drafted separately from the other divisions.
