Skill Evaluations at Maryville Little League

Skill evaluations for Fall 2025 will be held on July 26th. Email updates will be communicated out. There are no tryouts for Teeball or Weeball. All other participants must attend the skill evaluation session to be eligible for the draft.

Note: If a player does not attend tryouts, they will be a hat-pick at the team draft and placed on a team. Everyone will be placed on a team. Coach-protected players and siblings of previously drafted players do not need to try out.

What to Expect?

Players will be divided into age groups at registration. For fielding, players will field ground balls and pop flies, then make throws from shortstop to first base. During hitting evaluations, players will hit several pitches and run from home to first base. Tryouts typically last an hour or a bit longer, depending on the number of participants. Any child not attending tryouts will be randomly placed on a team.
