Skills Evaluation
A Skills Evaluation will be held for the Flat Pitch and Fast Pitch divisions.  This process assists staff in creating balanced teams.   During Skills Evaluation, players will run through a series of basic drills to allow staff to access their experience/skill level.  The date and time of the Skills Evaluation will be specified in the Registration Brochure.   Coach Pitch division players are assigned to teams and do not go through Skills Evaluation. 

  

Team Notification & First Practice
 

After teams are assigned, you will be notified by your coach as to your team’s practice schedule and practice location. 

 

 

Jamboree & Team Photos
  

At the beginning of the season, a Jamboree is held where all teams will gather and play another team in a shortened version of a game.  Team and individual photos may be taken during the Jamboree.  Uniforms will be given out at Jamboree, if not already given out at a practice.  The Jamboree date will be listed in the Registration Brochure.  Your coach will let you know what time your team will participate in the Jamboree.
