Hello Ladera Little League Families,
We were glad to see a number of players at last week's evaluations, and we expect an even bigger turnout this at the final sessions this weekend 1/21 and 1/22, and Monday, 1/23. Please carefully read this email to ensure a productive and efficient process. Additional information about the evaluation session timelines appears below. Please also make every attempt to attend one of the scheduled evaluations listed below so that the league can evaluate and place players into the appropriate division.
Who should attend an evaluation session?
- Baseball and softball players league age 8 - 14 who are new to Ladera LL
- Players who want to change teams (re-entering the Minor or Major baseball division draft) or who are planning to move to a new division in spring/summer 2023. For example:
- player would like to move up from the Rookie division to the Minor division; or
- player would like to move up from the Minor division to the Major division; or
- player would like to move up from the Major division to the Junior division (Information on the Junior divisions to follow soon).
- Players in the above categories must attend an evaluation session to be eligible for the upcoming Major and Minor baseball draft.
