For 2024 there will be no player evaluations for Rookie Ball Division.
Some 8 year olds may be permitted to try out for the Minor Division and would be required to also attend the 9-10 year olds evaluation session. In these cases the following criteria will apply:
- must have played the previous year in the Rookie Ball Division,
- must be one of the top players in his/her age group,
- there must be available spots in the Minor Division,
- must be recommended to play up and invited to try out for the higher division.
A 6 year old player (age as of August 31 in year of current season) is eligible to tryout to play in the Rookie Ball Division if he/she has played at least one year of T-Ball and has a requisite level of basic skills with respect to throwing, catching and hitting. The player will be required to attend an evaluation session for an assessment of his/her baseball skills and abilities, and must be rated in the top 40% of all Rookie Ball players evaluated before permission in the Rookie Ball Division is granted by the league.
The Rookie Ball Division is intended primarily for 7 and 8 year old players where a mechanical pitching machine is used, with balls being hit and thrown significantly harder than in the T-Ball Division. The level of competition and intensity on the field is much higher and a commitment to attend more team practices is also required. We recommend that parents don't consider having a 6 year old tryout for Rookie Ball Division unless they are comfortable with their child having to catch and field balls thrown and hit by older and stronger players. Parents should be reasonably certain that their 6 year old child is indeed ready, physically, mentally and emotionally before choosing to tryout for the Rookie Ball Division. We would prefer that your child be slightly bored rather than risk injury.
All 6 year old players trying out for the Rookie Ball Division must still register for T-Ball Division, if you are interested in having your 6 year old player attend a tryout session for the Rookie Ball Division, please contact the Rookie Ball Coordinator at [email protected]
If you are interested in coaching in the Rookie Ball Division, please identify this on the online registration form or contact the Rookie Ball Coordinator at [email protected]
