Player Selection

Recreational

• Each registered player must participate in Assessments.
• Coaches will evaluate players in 4 areas:

1. Hitting
2. Fielding
3. Running
4. Throwing

          Pitching will be evaluated separately.

• Returning players will also be assessed on the end of season evaluation completed by their previous coach.

Draft

• Head coaches only
• Draft order will be picked out of a hat
• Snake Format
• Each team will pick a pitcher in the first

• The draft will remain confidential as it is our belief that players in a recreational sport don’t need to know in what order they were selected

Recreational (playing out of designated age group)-

• Char-Meck Softball does not allow players to play below their designated age group, regardless of their experience level.
• A 6U player can request to play above their designated age group if the following requirements are met…
