We are a group of passionate adult volunteers who share in Little League's vision to provide a fun, wholesome, healthful and community-building game of baseball for our children. Where strong adult leadership can help our youth learn life lessons through the game of Little League baseball. We rely heavily on each other to organize and create a safe and clean environment at our park for ALL of our families to enjoy.
All teams will be BALANCED so that games are between teams that are as evenly matched as possible. "Contests are best if teams that are playing against each other are of similar ability".
In order for the league to properly balance each team, ALL players must be evaluated. Players age 8 and above must participate in tryouts that are scheduled for Saturday January 15th and Wednesday January 19th. For Tee Ball, Minor A players, players who will be 7 prior to 9/1/22, Intermediate and Junior divisions, dates for assessments and tryouts will be announced asap.
In an effort to keep everyone informed and updated, we strongly recommend that you sign up all cell phone numbers for text updates and by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Rosters for Tee Ball and Minor A will be selected and balanced by the league's player agents if necessary, but with the input of managers if possible. Special requests will be honored as much as possible for these divisions but the main goal is to make sure teams in these divisions are balanced. Contests are best if teams that are playing against each other are of similar ability. Tee Ball and Minor A teams will practice at Pioneer Junior High and at San Antonio Park when possible.
Rosters for Minor AA, Minor AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors will be selected by their team manager during a draft. These drafts are tentatively scheduled for January 21st for majors, Intermediate and Juniors. Drafts are on January 22th for all minor divisions and Tee Ball. Attending a tryout is required for ALL players in Intermediate, Major and Minor AAA and AA divisions that are league-age 8 and above.
*****The major division will be a redraft so ALL returning major division players are also required to attend a tryout*****
