Announcement - 2011 Tryouts Update
ATTENTION!!! Tryouts previously scheduled for Sunday, January 16 have been moved to Saturday, January 15. There will be no tryouts on Sunday, January 16. Please note the updated tryouts schedule for Saturday January 15 below:

All players 7 years and older are required to tryout before they can be drafted. Players who played in the Major Division during the 2010 season and will play in the Majors during the 2011 season do not have to tryout. Managers and coaches will be evaluating each players's skills, then NCLL can place the player in the appropriate division. Players should wear comfortable safe clothing, cleats that fit, and bring a glove. Please arrive at the field at least 30 minutes prior to your tryout time so you can check-in at the Snack Shack, get your number, and warm up.
Any players attending tryouts who have not yet registered for the 2011 season should report to the Snack Shack as soon as they arrive, so they can be processed and assigned a number.
Rainout? NO WAY! Every effort will be made to finish the tryouts, even if the weather doesn't fully cooperate. As long as players aren't subject to injury, tryouts will be held as scheduled.
