2023 Evaluations will be held February 18th & 19th at various locations as seen below
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 provide 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. In 2023, we are offering “make-up” times/dates as seen below. 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 on Saturday, February 18th will be held at Airpark Kids Zone, 11169 Air Park Rd, Ashland, VA 23005.
Make-up evaluations on Sunday, February 19th will be held at the Ashland Yard, 109 S. Washington Hwy, Ashland, VA 23005.
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.
What if my child can’t make the assigned division evaluations on Saturday?
We have 2 other options:
- Attend a make-up session on Saturday (softball – all ages: 3:30-5 PM or baseball – all ages: 6:30-7:30 PM)
- Attend a Sunday make-up session as seen in the schedule below (Note: Sunday sessions will have a limited number of spots available – signup link is below)
NOTE: If attending a make-up session, your child will be evaluated by a board member and a brief summary will be given to all coaches.
Can parents watch evaluations?
Yes, you may come in the facility with your child if you choose to. Please have your child check-in at the desk as they arrive to receive a number for evaluations.
Tee Ball, Coach Pitch, Machine Pitch 6/7 (MP1), and Junior/Senior will not have evaluations.
**Below are the check in times based on Division and Last Name**
