2022 Evaluations will be held February 19th/20th at Dynamo Indoor Sports Complex (8175 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville, VA 23111)
What are evaluations?
Evaluations are held each spring to quickly evaluate kids on their basic baseball and softball abilities. Children will hit, run, throw, catch, field groundballs/flyballs and pitch if needed. This helps us in balancing the teams through a draft process. Equal teams provides the best experience for children of all ability levels.
What happens if I can’t attend evaluations?
We understand that there are times when your child cannot make evaluations due to schedule conflicts. We highly encourage all children to attend evaluations to help the league maintain equal teams. If your child misses evaluations, they will still be placed on a team but may be subject to random placement on a team.
What should my child wear/bring?
Please wear appropriate athletic attire. No cleats allowed. Bring glove, helmet, and bat (if you have one).
Where are evaluations?
Evaluations will be held at Dynamo Indoor Sports Complex, 8175 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville, VA 23111.
When are evaluations?
See below, times are broken out between division and last name. We estimate your child will be in the facility roughly 30 minutes for baseball 30-45 minutes for softball (possibly up to an hour if a pitcher and/or catcher). Please arrive at the time listed for your last name to help us keep a limited number of children inside the facility. If you have a conflict at your assigned time, you are free to show up anytime during your division’s slot.
Can parents watch evaluations?
Unfortunately, Dynamo has a policy that only participants are allowed inside due to their COVID mitigation policy. Dynamo has made an exception for parents of 7/8 year old children to walk them in to the check-in desk but they will then need to wait in their car.
Process for Child Dropoff/Check-in
