About West Madison Little League Drafts

                            
All WMLL teams are selected by drafts.  Drafts are conducted by league as organized by the league coordinator for that particular age league.  Player skill levels are evaluated at an annual Skills Clinic conducted each March for baseball players ages 8-12 and for softball players from ages 8-14.  In addition, player evaluations, as prepared at the end of the prior season by coaches, are distributed to every coach prior to the draft for review.

Team draft order is by random drawing with each round drafting in the reverse order (example: round 1 by teams 1 thru 10 and round two in the opposite order by teams 10 thru 1 and alternating each round until all players are selected).  At times, special provisions are made for the last round of the draft.

Coaches' sons and daughters are placed in the appropriate round of each league draft based on relative skill level by the league coordinator with input from all coaches.  This process attempts to insure that all teams have an equal opportunity to draft a competitive, balanced team.
