What are player assessments?

Players will go through 45 minutes of hitting, fielding and pitching. Our coaches and volunteers will make it fun! These are not tryouts – there is a spot for everyone in Little League. Assessments are important to help make our AAA and Majors teams fair and balanced. We want a mix of kids from all skill levels on each team, which makes our season more fun. 

We don’t have friend/coach requests at these levels, but the chances are that every player will have at least one friend or classmate on their team, as well as meet other kids from our Ballard schools. 

We know families are busy, but it’s important for attendance at one of these sessions to help our coaches make equitable teams. If you can’t make one that matches your division, please sign up for any slot and make a note in the spreadsheet.

Where are player assessments?

Ballard Little League is using the field at Boys and Girls Club in Ballard, 1767 NW 64th Street. The entrance is on 63rd Avenue, walk up through their parking lot (all parking will be on the street).  We are holding assessments rain or shine, so please have your player dress for the weather.

Parents can stay or drop off your player, just please pick up after 45 minutes.

What to bring?

Please bring a glove, bat and helmet. If you don’t have these items, we will have a few extra available.
