Player Placement at the Kehl Center Saturday

Players moving up to Minors or Majors, and ALL Juniors are required to attend the Player Placement scheduled at the Clarke University Kehl Center this Saturday, February 11.

Juniors – 10:30 AM
Minors – 5:30 PM
Majors – 7:00 PM

Please bring your glove, bat, tennis shoes and comfortable clothes. The drills should take approximately one hour.

Those players that do not attend will not be drafted, but will become hat picks. Coaches will draw names out of a hat and the player will then be assigned to that team.

2012 Registration Information

Registration is currently open, but will be closing on February 3rd!  You can find the registration link using the BIG BLUE BUTTON to the left.  Payment plans are available!

We will also be present at the Dubuque Sports & Recreational Festival to assist with registration and answer any questions you may have.  The festival will be at the Grand River Center on January 21st from 9:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M.

Player placement day will be held February 11th at The Kehl Center on the Clarke College campus.

Players entering their first season in the Minors or Majors divisions are asked to attend.  We will be doing a complete redraft at the Juniors level, so all players registering for Juniors are asked to attend.

To those unfamiliar with player placement, we ask that your child come in comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, and bring their bat and glove. We’ll have the kids go through some hitting and fielding drills to give the coaches a chance to evaluate the players skills.  Shortly after, the coaches will get together and hold a draft.

Players registered for T-ball, and Pee Wee do not attend player placement.

Times for player placement day will be added to the web site soon.
