This group consists of players who played Rookie Senior in 2015 along with any 9 or 10 year old players who are new to MSLL. Players in this group are assessed for drafting to the AA division. Players who are baseball age 9 or 10 are guaranteed placement in this division.. Players who are baseball age 8 may be placed in either AA or Rookie Senior based on assessment scores.
Sat 13th Afternoon – Minors AAA Assessments (baseball age 9-11)
This group consists of players who played AA or AAA in 2015 along with any 11 year old players who are new to MSLL. Players in this group are assessed for drafting to the AAA division. Players who are baseball age 11 are guaranteed placement in AAA. Players who are baseball age 10 or 9 may be placed in either AAA or AA based on assessment scores.
Sun 14th Morning – Majors Assessments/Tryouts (baseball age 10-12)
This group consists of players who are age 12 along with 10 or 11 year old players who have requested a Majors tryout.. Players in this group are assessed for drafting to the Majors division. Players who are baseball age 12 (or age 11 and already played in Majors in 2015) are guaranteed placement in Majors. Players who are baseball age 11 or 10 may be placed in either Majors or AAA based on assessment scores.
*Note: Players who are baseball age 10 or 11 and are trying out for Majors for the first time must attend both the returning Minors assessment and the Majors assessment in order to be fairly assessed within each peer group.
Parents will receive an email ~1 week before the assessments indicating the assessment time your player has been assigned. If you are unable to attend your assigned assessment time, there will be a make-up session in the evening of Mon 15th February at Seycove School.
Coaches for Assessments
Thank-you to those of you who have volunteered to head coach or assistant coach one of our teams this year. We are currently waiting for registration to close on February 7th in order to determine the number of teams that will be needed in each division. The head coaches for the Majors, AAA and AA teams will be selected by the Executive Coaching Committee once the number of teams is known. Head coaches are then responsible for selecting their own assistant coaches either prior to or after the draft.
We will require lots of help from our all our coaching volunteers to run the assessments as each station needs coaches to run the drills as well as 2 people to score the players. If you can help out during assessment weekend, please contact the Player Agent via email indicating which assessments sessions you can attend.
