- What is a "try-out"?
- Try-outs are sessions where players have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills at fielding, throwing, receiving a thrown ball at first base and batting. Managers attend try-outs to observe and make notes on each player to assist them in deciding who they would like to draft on their team.
These events are probably more appropriately called
"evaluations" rather than try-outs. All players
participating in them will be selected to a team.
- Who must try-out?
- For the Spring '12 season players participating in
Minor League and higher are required to try out.
Players in Tee Ball, Coach Pitch, Training League and
LCB Buddy Ball League are NOT required to try out.
- When and where are the try-outs?
- For the Spring '12 season, try-outs are scheduled for
Friday, January 13 (Minor League "A") and Saturday,
January 14 for Minor League "B", Major and Junior League
As those dates approach you will be reminded by mail, e-mail and/or verbally at
walk-up registration of the
try-out dates, places and times.
- What if my child is unable to attend the try-out? Will he/she still be permitted to play?
- Yes, every child who wishes to play will play
regardless of whether they attended the try-out or not, assuming there is space available. Players unable to participate in the try-outs have their names randomly drawn from a hat at the end of the draft meeting and are placed on the next team needing a player.
