ONLY USA BASEBALL CERTIFIED BATS ARE ALLOWED FOR USE IN EVALUATIONS.
Visit our USABat Standard page for details.
All players participating in player evaluations will need to check in during the designated time slot. They will receive a number specific to their league age and then be grouped with other players with the same league age. FALL Board Members will lead each group through a short warm-up session before they participate in the official evaluation. Evaluations will consist of a series of simple drills that focus on fundamental baseball skills including catching, throwing, fielding, pop flies, and hitting.
Players can wear shorts or baseball gear and should come equipped with a glove, batting helmet, and a USA Baseball certified bat. If they do not have a USA approved bat, one will be provided for them. NO CLEATS will be allowed when evaluations are conducted on turf fields. Regular running or athletic shoes will be fine.
The player evaluation experience can be nerve wracking for players. FALL strives to make the entire experience a positive one for each player. We encourage parents to support their players but to refrain from cheering or coaching during the process. All players who attend evaluations will receive a team placement, regardless of performance. The primary purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that the player is properly placed in the division that allows them to succeed and develop their baseball skills.
