EVERY Player must attend the skill’s evaluation to be graded. This is not a tryout. All children who register will play on a team. The skills evaluation is to attempt to grade each child’s skill level so that the talent can be divided evenly onto the teams. Please be early to your site on skill’s day. You will check in with the staff person and your child will be given a number to wear on their arm during the skill’s evaluation. The skill’s evaluation should last no more than 1 hour. The baseball players should hear from a coach by FEB 13th. If you have not received a call by this date, please contact the athletic department. We may need a coach for your child’s team.
