ANSLL Player Evaluations / Tryouts
All players League Age 9-12 are required to attend evaluations. Players only need to attend one of the two sessions and the times listed are only a window to show, you will not need to be there the entire time nor do you need to show at the beginning, just somewhere in the window.
Each year ANSLL is required to hold evaluations to assess skill levels. Evaluations are not a test that must be passed, but rather an assessment of a child's skill and fundamentals in how to run, field, hit, and throw. These skill levels, along with other factors (such as age and safety) and previous manager ratings are used to place the player at the level most appropriate for them to have the best baseball experience. All players will be placed on a team, this just helps place them with players of similar abilities.
Evaluations are also required for players league age 8 who want to be considered for the AA division.

What to expect:
Check-in at the school’s entrance upon arrival and receive player number and you will be assigned a group number (3/group) based on order of arrival. Although evaluations only take about 5 minutes, only 3 can be evaluated at a time, so wait times vary.
Groups are escorted to gym and players can throw a little to warm up.
Running - Players will be timed while running simulated bases.
Throwing - Players will play catch with spring Major's player or graduates and manager's will look at throwing mechanics, accuracy, speed and catching ability. A variety of grounders and pop-ups will be thrown to evaluate fielding ability.
Hitting - Bats will be provided and players will hit several balls off a batting tee into a net to evaluate swing mechanics. Batting helmets are used so if you have one bring it.
Players will need to bring tennis shoes, fielding glove & (helmet).
