There are player evaluations or "skills assessment," days for the Spring season. Registered players are evaluated by the coaches and managers in their age division to ensure balanced teams are created.
It is required that all girls in divisions 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U participate in these evaluations. 6U Division players do not participate in the player evaluation.
Pitchers and Catchers are required to be evaluated. Non-evaluated pitchers and catchers are limited to one (1) inning per week.
Evaluation dates are typically scheduled in early January, please see the MGS Calendar for more information.
My child must play for a specific coach or with a friend for carpool reasons. Will that be a problem?
No league can guarantee that a child will play on a specific team, and our league is no different in this regard. In divisions 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U, players are selected through a draft in an effort to keep the teams balanced.
In the lower divisions (6U), parents are advised to make their requests and preferences in writing at the time of registration. Divisional Commissioners will make an effort to accommodate requests.
What will I have to buy before the playing season starts?
The league provides a team jersey as part of your enrollment fee. The players need to provide their own pants, sliding shorts or knee pads, a glove , helmet , bat and a pair of cleats.
When do practices begin?
Spring season practices may begin in early February. Each coach will determine the day(s) of the week and time of the practice.
