Kerrisdale Little League Pre-Season Assessments
Important: KLL 2012 Mandatory Pre-season Assessment Information for
all 2003-born and older KLL Players wishing to play Minor A and Majors
divisions:
Before starting the season KLL must evaluate ALL new and returning players wanting to play in Minor A and Major A and B so they can be drafted onto teams in their respective divisions. Only players wishing to play Minor A, and Major A and B need to evaluate.
If you're unsure if your child needs to assess, please directly contact Renata Arnold (Minor A) or Sandra Matsuyama (Major A and B). These
assessments help us to place your child appropriately. Please bring
your player dressed in suitable clothing with good running shoes (no baseball cleats) and don’t forget required
batting helmet and baseball glove. Assessment dates are posted below, with allocated time slots. Please see below.
Pre-Season Assessments: what to expect:
Independent assessors from Inside Performance will run the stations and rank the players in the following areas:
- Pitching
- Throwing and Fielding (catching, but not fly balls)
- Batting, with bunting added for the Majors players
KLL Minor A and Majors coaches will observe.
For Minor B players hoping to move up to Minor A, these assessments are required. For parents and players new to the assessment process, please be assured that assessments are not try-outs. Once all the players have been accessed, the assessors submit the players' scores to the League, which will then use the scores to determine draft position, suitability of players for respective divisions, and team balancing. Please see age grid and descriptions of each division if further information is needed to determine the best division for your child based on age, years played, and ability. Any questions, please feel free to contact your division coordinator under Contacts.
Please see below what
day and time your child will attend, depending on the division your child has registered in or is hoping to be drafted into.
To help move your child through
the assessment process quickly (estimated time 40 minutes per player)
we have divided player groups alphabetically into designated time
slots. These are fixed times and KLL is unfortunately unable
to accommodate changes. KLL has hired independent assessors
to run the sessions with KLL Coaches observing. Please
arrive 10 minutes before your assigned time slot to check in. Thank
you for your cooperation and understanding.
