ASSESSMENTS - 1/22/22 & 1/29/22

Assessments  are right around the corner! We understand that for some it can be an intimidating experience, especially if they have never participated in an  assessment.  During assessments, the coaches are evaluating players’ relative abilities allowing them to give each player a proper score based on ability.  Every Serra Mesa player has a place in the Serra Mesa Little League, and this  assessment process is they best and safest way to determine where they will grow and develop their skills.

Please review the below items to ensure you and your player are ready for the  assessment.  We want this to be a great experience for you and your child, so please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions at all!

Assessment Day Expectations

  • Please arrive 15-30 minutes early to check in and warm up.
  • Please come to the time frame of your child’s League Age. The league age of a Little Leaguer is based on the player’s age as of August 31 of the current year. This date is the same that many schools use for student registration, which allows Little Leaguers to play with their classmates.  Use the League-Age Calculator  link to determine if you are unsure.
  • If your player would like to "play up" or "play down" in a different division from their league age, please email us so we are aware of your request. Every player who wants to play in a division different from their league age needs to attend both their league age  assessment time and the one for the requested division. 
  • Each player will receive a large label sticker with a designated number at Check-in
  • Each player will be given the opportunity to perform (1) Batting/bunting (2) Fielding fly balls (3) Fielding ground balls (4) Throwing (5) Run in competition with children having the same league age.
  • Each skill will be graded on a 1-5 scale. A total of score of 25 points is the highest rating a player can receive. Those scores would then be utilized as managers work through the draft process.
