The upper divisions of baseball and softball form teams through a draft process, rather than the friend/coach request system used in the lower divisions. A key part of the draft is the player skills evaluation, commonly called “assessments.” Assessments help the league place players at the level where they are most likely to succeed and ensure balanced teams across each division, creating the best possible experience for all players.

2026 Assessment Schedule:

Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026
Where: Delridge Playfield (on the North fields nearest to the Community Center)

• 10:30 - 12:00 Baseball Minors
• 12:30 - 2:15 Baseball Majors
• 2:15 - 3:45 Baseball Rookies

Who Participates in Assessments: 

Baseball:

- Rookies
- Minors
- Majors
- (Intermediate 50/70 and Juniors, ages 13–14, typically do not hold assessments or drafts.)

Softball:

The league will have a limited amount of gear available for use at assessments. Just ask a volunteer during the check in process and they will help get you set up.  

If you have questions about equipment, visit our FAQ page or contact [email protected].

Each player will be assigned a bib number and will rotate through several stations. The coaches for each division will observe and evaluate players on the following skills:    

1) Fielding ground balls and throwing to first base

2) Pitching 

3) Hitting 

4) Catching pop fly balls

5) Timed running/sprinting

The goal is to make it a fun and positive experience for all players. Each player will get several opportunities at each station. Parents are welcome to stay and watch assessments but will be asked to stay off the field once assessments begin.

If your player is unable to attend assessments, please email [email protected]. You’ll be asked to share some basic information about your player’s skill level, and input from previous coaches will also be considered, if available. Your player will still be included in the draft based on this information.

Players who register after the draft will be placed on a team only if space is available, and requests for specific teams cannot be accommodated.
