Spring Season:
T-Ball, Machine Pitch A, & Machine Pitch AA teams are formed by the Player Agent. The Player Agent first accommodates coach and teammate requests to the best extent possible and then secondly groups the remaining players by school and/or neighborhood.
AAA, Majors, Intermediate 50/70, & Juniors players attend an evaluations day and receive a numeric score for each of the stations such as pitching, fielding, running, throwing and hitting. The information collected is then used to create a draft order whereby coaches partake in a draft selection process for the teams.
To help ensure parity and healthy competition for the teams the following are implemented:
- All players go through evaluations.
- Teams are redrafted each Spring.
- Managers for teams have two protected picks (one for their child and one for their one pre-selected assistant coach).
- The Spring draft process does not affect the Summer or Fall Season team selections.
Summer All Stars:
Summer All Star teams for the 8-10, 9-11, Majors, Intermediate 50/70, & Juniors division tournaments teams are formed by tryouts under the direction of the MLL Board of Directors. Further information regarding this process can be obtained here.
Fall Season:
T-Ball, Machine Pitch A, Machine Pitch AA, AAA, Majors, Intermediate 50/70, & Juniors division teams are formed by the Player Agent. The Player Agent first accommodates coach and teammate requests to the best extent possible and then secondly groups the remaining players by school and/or neighborhood.
