Spring 2026 NVLL Baseball Evaluation

Player evaluations are critical for establishing draft pools allowing team managers to draft balanced teams. The results of the spring evaluation are one data point used to determine what division is best for each child. Your child will be placed in a division based on several criteria such as: league age, skill level, prior coaching evaluations and results of the spring evaluations. The total registration count and coaches assigned to the division also have an impact on division assignments. All paid players will make a team thus this is not a “tryout” as it’s commonly called. Waitlisted players should attend evaluations, and if we are able to place your child on a team you will receive a notice to complete online registration and pay. 

Evaluations will be held on Saturday, January 10 and Sunday, January 18. 
PLAYERS ONLY NEED TO ATTEND ONE OF THESE DAYS

Who Should Attend

All registered players in our baseball drafted divisions,AAA, Majors, and Juniors are required to attend evaluations, as well as all Softball divisions (Rookies, Minors, Majors). Players waitlisted for Majors and AAA are also required to attend evaluations. Evaluations are optional for AA and A players. There are no evaluations for T-Ball, 5-Pitch, or 50/70 divisions.

Please be on the lookout for a follow-up email from the NVLL Player Agent with sign-up information so you can choose which day works best for your family.

Arrival Timing

Please plan for players to arrive 45–60 minutes before their scheduled evaluation time. This allows time for check-in and warm-ups so everything can start on time.

All players including those on the waitlist must attend one of the following mandator evaluations.  Please arrive at least 30 mins before your scheduled time to complete check in and warm up.
