Skill Evaluations at Maryville Little League

Due to winter weather, the tryout schedule has been adjusted. Please see the updated times below. There are no tryouts for Teeball or Weeball. All other participants must attend the skill evaluation session to be eligible for the draft. Players should only attend ONE of these dates, not both.

Note: If a player does not attend a tryout, they will be a hat-pick at the team draft and placed on a team. Everyone will be placed on a team. Coach-protected players and siblings of previously drafted players do not need to try out.

What to Expect?

Players will be divided into age groups at registration. For fielding, players will field ground balls and pop flies, then make throws from shortstop to first base. During hitting evaluations, players will hit several pitches and run from home to first base. Tryouts typically last an hour or a bit longer, depending on the number of participants. Any child not attending tryouts will be randomly placed on a team.
