Spring 2012 Baseball Player Evaluations

Player Evaluation sessions are mandatory for all players wishing to play in the Single A division and higher (league age 8**). There are no evaluations for players in Midgets, Coach Pitch or Rookie divisions.

The evaluations are used to help provide parity and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

All other age groups are currently completed.

**If you have registered your 8 yr old for the Rookie division, you do not need to attend evaluations.

Team Assignments

Team divisions and assignments will be done by league age.League age for the spring 2012 season is determined by your child’s age on April 30, 2012. If you would like your child to play “up” please refer to the NTLL Local Rules section on Extraordinary Skills and Grandfather Rule.

Please check the NTLL hotline, 813-994-0074, for field conditions / weather. We will make every effort to perform all evaluations on schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our Player Agent at info@newtampalittleleague.com.

All teams will be posted on our website within 24 hours of player draft / selection. Please check our website for your team assignment, manager phone #, practice times and game schedule.

Important Notes:

* Any player under the Extraordinary Skill “playing up” local rule will be identified at the start of the evaluations. Extraordinary skill is defined as possessing those skills equal or greater than the top 10% of players of the upper division. Thus if we have sixty - 11 year olds, a 10 year old must be equal or better than the top six 11 year olds. If the managers agree he may be drafted in the upper division. If however, he is not drafted as one of the first six players in that age group he will be eliminated from the draft. Note: this rule does not apply to players being evaluated under the “Grandfather” local rule.

* 7 year olds wishing to play Single A, must attend the 8 year old evaluation.

* 8 year olds wishing to play AA, must attend the 9 year old evaluation.

* 9 year olds wishing to play AAA, must attend the 10 year old evaluation.

* 10 year olds wishing to play Majors, must attend the 11 year old evaluation.

* Players that are absent for evaluations may not be eligible for the initial draft. Player Agent and Division Director will assign these players to teams after the draft.

* Please make note of any individuals that appear to be safety risks due to a sever lack of skills or size. The managers, Player Agent and Division Director before any players are selected, will discuss these individuals.
