There will be evaluation sessions arranged for players registered in all Rookie Ball divisions. The purpose of these sessions is to give us as good a measure as possible of the skill level of our players, so that we can make our house league teams as fair and balanced as possible. These sessions will take place sometime in late April. Parents will receive information in mid-April as to the dates, times, and location of these sessions.

  • The preseason will run from early May (specific start date is dependent on field conditions) to Thursday, May 18. There will be two or three scheduled team practices during the preseason.
