In an effort to provide a more efficient and effective evaluation process for our families, WYBS will be holding a singular evaluation day in mid-May for all current 8 – 12 year-old players. This evaluation day will replace the need for individual evaluations that were historically required for Summer Baseball, our Jr. Raiders program and Spring baseball placement. This event will replace the need for players to attend any other evaluation throughout the year and allows players to be evaluated in “mid-season” form, on a baseball diamond as opposed to indoors, during the off-season, and when there are typically competing priorities.
The evaluations will be held with their current spring team to help create a more supportive and less intimidating environment for the kids.
Evaluations are optional for all players but strongly recommended for any player who wishes to be considered for a stratified summer team, Jr. Raiders, or to be placed in a league typically above their age group. Even if a player does not want to be considered for stratified team placement, the evaluations also provide the league with the ability to balance teams appropriately to ensure the best possible gameplay, so attendance is strongly encouraged for all players regardless.
