The try-outs/evaluations consist of: batting, fielding, throwing and running. Depending on the age group, players will be thrown or hit grounders and fly balls which they will field and throw back. In the hitting stage, pitched balls will be delivered to players from a coach or from a pitching machine. Players may also be asked to run the bases. Players should bring their glove and, if they have them, wear shoes with rubber/plastic cleats (soccer shoes are fine). No metal cleats are allowed for 9-12 year olds. Bats and helmets will be provided. It is recommended, but not required that male players wear cups for the try-outs/evaluations.
The tryouts/evaluations will occur as scheduled below unless rain makes the conditions unsafe. You should assume the tryouts/evaluations will occur even if it is raining. If it is raining on the day of the try-outs/evaluations, please drive to the field for an up-to-date report on the possibility of a rain-out and rescheduling.
