Do I have to try out to play in the league?
If you are a new player, you may be requested to attend a try-out session where your skill level will be evaluated. You will be rated in four categories: running, hitting, fielding, and throwing. The cumulative ratings total, based on a point system, corresponds to an overall classification as an A, B, C, or D level player which will be used to place you on a team. Players reviews are typically done at the end of the season in preparation for the upcoming season. A player's rating could go up or down. The league tries to be as fair as possible to help keep the play experience level.When is typically the player draft?
There are typically 3 drafts; one for each division and they occur in early April. Just register for the division you want to be in and pay the fee. Managers will contact their teams shortly after the individual drafts.When will players find out which teams they’ll be on?
If you registered and paid the fee before the draft, you'll be placed on a team on draft day. A day or two after the draft, managers will call/text/email their players. Contact us if you haven't heard anything by April 15. Are there any "organized" practices prior to the draft?
Many players get together for informal practices all year long. Contact us and someone will get back to you. Are both men and women eligible to play?
Yes! Everyone is welcome! Note that the age requirement for women is 60 or older in all four divisions. Do you have FALL ball and if so, when does it start?
