The NWLL Standing Rules and the Little League Baseball rulebook address the rules regarding which players may play in each division. T-Ball and Farm are instructional leagues and require no tryouts. Tryouts are mandatory for all players for AA and above. Tryout information cards are mailed in early January to all registered players. Tryouts usually begin mid-January and continue into early February.
Tryouts are actually an evaluation of each player s skills.
No players are cut from Little League. Tryouts give managers and coaches a chance to evaluate each player s skills to determine whom they would like to draft for their team. Players typically are asked to field fly balls, grounders, throw, hit, and also pitch or catch if they would like to play those positions. Tryout days and times may be changed due to rain. The league voice mail and the website are updated with changes.
