MANDATORY SKILLS SESSION FOR ROOKIE, MINOR & MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS
WMLL places a very high priority on forming balanced teams to create fair, competitive leagues. To do this, WMLL utilizes a Skills Session and No-Cut Player Draft to establish team rosters.
The mandatory skills session is the critical first step in the process of assembling balanced teams.
At the skills session, after checking-in and receiving a pin-on number, all players in a Little League age (LL Age) group will be put in line. Players will then rotate through individual fielding/throwing, hitting, and pitching drill stations while the coaches in that league make evaluations for use during the no-cut player draft. After completing these drills, players are free to go.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
- If a player is unable to attend, coach evaluations from previous seasons and/or parent evaluations provided during registration will be used to assess the player’s skill.
- If your child is unable to attend, it is your responsibility to notify the appropriate league coordinator in advance (see below for contact information).
- Players must bring a glove, batting helmet & water bottle and wear appropriate clothing & shoes. Players may also bring a bat and/or batting gloves if they would like. It is strongly recommended that players label their glove, water bottle, bat & helmet with their name to prevent mishaps.
- Any players that is playing WMLL spring/summer ball for the first time must also bring a copy of their official birth certificate for age verification.
- Please arrive on time for the session scheduled for your child’s LL age group and check in at the designated table.
