T-Ball, Farm, and Rookies baseball and softball teams it's all about fun, learning, and building friendships. Teams in these non-competitive divisions will be formed based on school and coach requests whenever possible.
For baseball and softball players in Minors, Majors, and Juniors (league age 9+), we use a player draft supported by skill assessments to create balanced teams. Assessments are required for these levels.
This draft format is built with one goal in mind: what’s best for the kids. By spreading talent across every team, we create fair matchups, stronger coaching opportunities, and a season where every player can grow, contribute, and feel proud of their team.
Coaches draft throughout the process with an emphasis on balance, so each roster includes a healthy mix of experience and developing players. We also actively monitor team needs as the draft unfolds to prevent gaps or overloads in key positions and skill sets. The result is an even playing field, better games, and a more positive, confidence-building experience for every kid in the league.
What to Expect at Assessments
Players do not need to stress over the skills assessment. There will be NO cuts. All players will make a team.
Assessments are used to evaluate players so we can create fair and balanced teams in our competitive divisions.
Players will be assessed on base running, fielding, throwing, catching, and batting earning a score of 1 through 5. Other attributes assessed will be attitude, focus, and hustle.
If you are interested in playing in a division other than the one you are eligible for, please attend the assessment of the division you want to play in. A safety assessment will be conducted before you are approved to transfer divisions.
Please wear tennis shoes as cleats are not allowed in the field house. Bring your glove. Other equipment will be provided.
When you arrive, check-in at the registration table to get your number and then start warming up your arm with a buddy.
If you are coaching, check-in at the registration table to receive your assessment clip board. Please bring your own pen.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch but are asked to remain outside the nets and let the coaches direct the assessment.
