Welcome to the 2021 Season!

Skills Assessments for all players in Rookies, Minors, Majors and Intermediate will be held at the Verona Little League complex from 10:00am – 4:00pm on Sunday, April 11th.

Please read the notes below so assessments go as smoothly as possible. Check the VLL website for any last-minute changes. In the event of poor weather or field conditions we will notify families via email, our website and social media. All families in Rookies – Intermediate should plan to attend based on the schedule below. Juniors are not required to assess.

Why assessments are important:

The skills assessment is not a tryout.

During assessments, coaches evaluate players' current baseball skills at a series of stations. This process gives each division a chance to create more balanced teams during their draft. Teams are chosen using knowledge of all players, with the help of observations made at assessments.

Simply encourage your player to come to the assessment and put forth the same effort that he/she would in a game during the season.

Scheduled time slots:

Below is the recommended time for your player to attend assessments. Please arrive no more than 10 minutes early to check in.  An assessment will last about 45 minutes. We understand that you may not be able to make your scheduled time slot in which case we ask you to try your best to bring your child any time from 10:00am-3:30pm.

What to expect:

Please show up a few minutes before your time slot, but no more than 10 minutes early and check-in at the information table.

Players will be running, hitting, catching, and throwing. They should have comfortable athletic clothing, gym shoes or cleats, and a glove. They are welcome to bring a bat, although it is not required. There will be an assortment of bats provided. Players will NOT need batting helmets, catcher's gear, or any other special equipment.   

Parents are not allowed on the field during assessments. Please plan to either return to your car or stay outside the fences. Coaches and volunteers will guide all players between stations.

Information table:

Do you have questions about VLL or the 2021 season? Do you want to volunteer your time in some way? Assessment day is a great time to interact with a VLL board member.  There will be several current and past members around who can provide details about the board and committee positions. Find out about an upcoming meeting and where we need the most help this year!

Late registrations:

It’s not uncommon for families to make a last-minute decisions to play baseball with us. If you have friends or family still on the fence, let them know that walk-ins are accepted at assessments.  While there are no guarantees, we will try to place all players on a team. They can register at the information table (late fee applies).

Covid protocols:

Face coverings are optional, but not required as long as physical distancing is maintained and we have no more than 50 players on each field in accordance with public health guidelines.  Greeters will be at the complex entrance to confirm your registration and guide your player to their first assessment station. Baseballs will be changed out frequently.
