How are teams formed?
For T-ball, Farm and AA levels, the teams are selected based on school and geography. We try to create teams with players which live within close proximity to each other. For AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors teams are selected through a draft process. After tryouts are completed, the league holds a draft for each league. During the draft, each of the team managers select eligible players from the draft.

Try-outs are mandatory for all players wishing to play in AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors. Those wishing to play in T-ball, Farm and AA do not need to try out.
