Players must wear sneakers as cleats are not allowed on the turf field. If you have a bat and helmet, you can bring those as well, however we will have bats and helmets on site. The main purpose of assessments is to ensure we have an even distribution of skills when selecting teams. Our goal is to have “even” teams, allowing for close games and similar records at the end of the season. The primary criteria for which players play at each level is age. If necessary, we will use assessment scores to determine how to round out teams at each level, but this will be minimal. During assessments, we will give the players a chance to warm up. They will then be run through drills to assess their skills at fielding, catching, throwing, and hitting. Please remind your players that this is not a “test.” Everyone will make a team, and again, the main reason we do this is to draft equitable teams. Please be sure to register prior to assessments.
