GENERAL:
*There are no assessments for T-ball*
Players who desire to play at the Rookie, Minor, Junior or Senior level need to participate in the assessment process:
- To assist each player in determining which skill level they should play in
- To assist the coaches in seeing which skill level their players should compete
- To expose coaches to players they have never seen before
Players are assessed by High School Staff, JBO board members or coaches.
The senior Federal teams are chosen by the High School staff. National & American teams are chosen by draft once the Federal team has been decided. The High School staff is given a list of numbers that represent each registered player. They are not at any time given a list of player names during the assessment process.
Minor and Junior fed teams are chosen by third-party evaluators. National and American team are chosen by draft. Evaluators are not given the list of player names during the assessment process.
Potential JBO coaches are given a list of player names and numbers in order to help them choose the players they would like to select during the draft process. At no time do these potential coaches assist with the assessment of players.
