Evaluations FAQ
My child is eight years old and would like to play in the 9/10 (10U) division. Does he/she still need to come to evaluations? Yes, they do. They must be evaluated prior to being moved into the 9/10 (10U) division and should attend the 9/10 (10U) evaluation session.
My child played Bronco last season. Does he/she still need to come to tryouts? Yes, they do. We redraft the 11/12 (12U) yearly.
Will my child be on the same team as last year? If your child is selected for the 11/12 (12U) or older divisions, they are subsequently placed on the team that selected them. If they are in the Mustang 9/10 you may request a coach or team and we will do our best to fulfill your request but there is no guarantee. If your child is in one of the younger divisions, you may request a coach or request your son or daughter be placed with a friend or neighbor.
What does my child need to wear? Your child needs to wear loose fitting clothes (sweats, warm-ups or baseball pants and a t-shirt) and NON-MARKING INDOOR SHOES. Your son or daughter will not be allowed into the gymnasium with street shoes. Oh, and please do not forget to have them bring their glove. It will be used extensively in the evaluations.
Can I be in the gymnasium with my child during evaluations? No. Only coaches and league personnel are allowed on the gymnasium floor during evaluations. The observation level above the gym should be open for parent viewing.
What if I can't make evaluations or my son or daughter is sick? We are a league of volunteers, all with families and understand life does happen and complications can (and do) arise. If your child cannot make evaluations at the scheduled date and time or makeup evaluations, then we ask that you contact our League President Steve Forrest via e-mail or phone ASAP (ancponyball@gmail.com or 563-7922).
Can I register at evaluations? Yes, you can. However, there is typically a long line and a lot going on during evaluations. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of our online registration service before attending evaluations at www.farnorthysa.org.
Should attendance at the primary evaluation time not be possible, please plan to attend the make-up evaluation session listed below:
DATE: Sunday, APRIL 14th from 6:00-8:00 PM pm OR
Wednesday, APRIL 17th from 7:00-9:00 LOCATION: THE ALASKA DOME (6501 Changepoint Drive)
(makeup EVALUATIONS ARE ONLY FOR PLAYERS THAT COULDN'T ATTEND THE APRIL 7TH EVALUATIONS)

7 important MLB trends to watch in 2019
Wed, 27 Feb 2019 14:14:00 EDT The game is changing, perhaps more quickly than ever. Forget comparing the sport to what it looked like in the 1960s or the '80s; the game has changed massively in just the last half-decade. Remember, just five years ago, we were all talking about the lack of power ,and no one was talking about launch angle or spin rate. Things are slightly different now.
