All players, except for those ages 4 to 7* and those participating in the Challenger Divisions, must attend player evaluations. It is important to review the evaluation schedule closely and identify the location, date and time as to when the evaluation of your particular age group will be occurring. Players who do not attend evaluations will be assigned to a team as space permits by the Player Agent in accordance with CVLL regulations. All managers must attend evaluations to assess the players. Players are asked to demonstrate their ability in fielding, throwing, hitting, and baserunning.

Players should bring their baseball glove, appropriate shoes (no metal cleats allowed except for Juniors and Seniors) and a cap. Bats and balls are provided, but players can bring their own bat if they wish. Evaluations are conducted on a first come, first serve basis.

After player evaluations, team managers meet and draft players onto their teams. All players who register on time, attend player evaluations, and have a certified copy of their birth certificate reviewed by CVLL will be assigned to a team. If there are circumstances which warrant a review of a player’s team assignment, the matter should first be discussed with the team manager or the Division Vice President who will, if necessary, review the situation with the Player Agent. A player’s team assignment cannot be changed purely for the convenience of the player or the parents.

During the season, players may be drafted up from the Minor American to the Major Division, if an opening occurs. Only those players who are age appropriate for that division and meet CVLL eligibility requirements can be considered for drafting up. Players are assigned to Challenger, Peanut, and Minor International teams by the CVLL Player Agent. For all divisions, the manager will contact each player after the draft/team assignment process is complete to schedule a parent meeting.
