Mandatory Player Evaluations 

Mandatory Player Evaluations will take place THIS Saturday, January 10, at the Robert Livermore Community Center Fields, located at 491 Loyola Way.

Evaluation Times:

The table below shows the times that players will be evaluated by League Age and last name. Please note that your player’s League Age may not be their current age. Be sure to reference the League Age chart on our league website to ensure you arrive at the correct time:

Tee Ball and Rookie players do not attend evaluations.

As these Evaluations are planned to be completed in ONE day only, we will be utilizing two fields and splitting up each age by Last Name.  See the table below:

Important Division & Draft Information

Please note that registering for a specific division does not guarantee placement or drafting into that division. Each division has a limited number of roster spots based on the number of teams available. Player evaluations help coaches and the league ensure balanced teams and appropriate placement for all players.

Single A Division – Coach & Player Requests

For the Single A Division (League Age 7 and above):

  • Families may request to play for a specific coach; however, due to the draft format, these requests cannot be guaranteed.

  • A request can only be honored if that coach drafts the player.

  • Several families have also requested for players to be placed with friends. Friend requests cannot be honored due to Little League draft rules.

  • The purpose of the draft is to create balanced and competitive teams across the division.

 Sibling placement is the only exception — siblings will be placed on the same team whenever possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep the league fair and enjoyable for all players.

Agenda for Evaluations

Players should arrive dressed in appropriate athletic gear and ready to participate in the following activities: pop flies, grounders, hitting, and running.

Fielding Drills

  • Catch/field two pop fly balls from the outfield and throw to 2nd Base

  • Immediately transition to Short Stop, field two ground balls, and throw to 1st Base

Hitting & Running

  • Players will grab helmets and bats and line up along the designated dugout

  • A coach will pitch three pitches to each batter

  • On the 3rd pitch, the batter will drop the bat and run from home to 2nd Base, simulating a double

If a player does not wish to be evaluated as a Pitcher or Catcher, they may leave at this point.

Pitchers

  • Line up at the mound and throw three pitches

Catchers

  • Line up to receive three pitches from a coach

  • Catchers must bring their own gear (pads, helmet, glove). Equipment will not be provided.

Words of Advice

Coaches evaluate more than just physical skills. They are also watching for communication, mechanics, focus, and attitude. This is your moment to shine!

  • Be attentive to instructions and listen quietly when coaches or staff are speaking

  • Be “baseball ready” for every drill (athletic stance, glove ready, focused)

  • Communicate loudly and clearly

  • Call out “I’ve got it!” when a ball is hit to you

  • Encourage and support teammates—no negative comments or jokes

  • Brush off mistakes and move on to the next play

  • Try your best and remember to have fun while staying respectful

Equipment Donation & Exchange

Livermore Little League is proud of our giving community. We will have a table set up with gently used equipment and sportswear for families to drop off or pick up items. If you have gear that no longer fits your player, please consider donating it. Your generosity helps other families avoid purchasing new equipment.

Pay it forward—we truly appreciate it!
